I wish we had the $$ to tie in to the sewer...I could quit worrying about the septic...not sure if it's the septic or the field bed just gets full....backyard is low and doesn't drain particularly well with heavy rains...lots of rain is a problem for downstairs toilet....I need to get mine cleaned out, too, if we aren't going to go on sewer....just another thing I've been putting off....the city annexed us and is charging us for sewer, even though we're not using it....I will have to have the propane line re-laid when we tie in
