What changes in Green Cove Springs
The aquifer that surfaces in the town's spring keeps the water table close under many Green Cove lots, and a replacement here is designed to it: the tank set and backfilled so it cannot float, the field sized and set to keep the required separation from the seasonal high water table, and where that separation does not exist in the natural ground, a mound. The county health department in Green Cove permits and inspects it.
Groundwater intrusion through the old tank's lid is a common finding, and the new one is sealed against it.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.
