Lid accessibility:
Septic tank lids range in weight, and can be very difficult to move. Planting excess bushes, building structures, which recess the lids, or putting heavy objects which one person cannot reasonably move, are of course discouraged. Septic tank lids should be at ground level to facilitate access for regular maintenance or if a problem should occur. All newly installed tanks must have access risers.
· Tank accessibility: The ability of a septic hauler truck to effectively remove sewage from the tank, will be affected by the length of hose required and the vertical distance to the tank.
