What changes in Vilano Beach
Vilano's tanks sit in sand a few feet above a water table the tide moves, and the ones that fail have taken on groundwater through cracked lids and loose risers until the field was drowned. The replacement is set with anti-flotation measures, sealed risers and sealed joints, and connected to a field that the site evaluation confirms can still work, which on the island often means a mound.
The setback from the neighbour's well on a narrow lot is measured before the hole is dug.
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.
