C <br /> HOLDING TANK SYSTEM <br /> USERS MANT?4L <br /> "ROJECT NAME: <br /> �YSTEM OPERATION: <br /> '.;c holding tank system serves to contain wastewater on site until the contents is pumncd and hauled to a <br /> --open point of disposal by an individual certified under Wisconsin Administrative Coce Chanter NR1 '.,. <br /> "astewater from your home enters the building sewer that terminates at the inlet of av1700 gallon prefab <br /> mcrete tank. The tank has a switch that is set to activate when the liquid level reaches a point 12" below <br /> e tank invert. The switch activates a high water alarm located inside a tank alert box ghat is installed on a <br /> -destal or inside a dwelling. When the tank is full of wastewater, the switch will be activated and caws <br /> audible alarm to sound. A switch located on the tank alert box can turn off the audible alarm. The <br /> quid waste carrier contracted to service the holding tank system should be called immediately after the <br /> :dible alarm is switched off. There is approximately <br /> ?oogallons of reserve capacity leR in the holding <br /> nlc after the alarm is activated. <br /> `1.e amount of wastewater pumped from the holding tank system can be obtained from the liquid waste <br /> .Trier. The total volume pumped from the holding tank system should then be compared to the amount of <br /> ater that passed through the water supply system. Deviations greater than 20% after re0iewing water <br /> -ter readings versus the volume reported pumped should be investigated. <br /> ESIGN FLOW: <br /> :e 1:101#9 tank system has a total wastewater capacity of.2A?0gallons. The average holding tank owner <br /> BgrA+itcounry uses 69 gallons of water per day. The holding tank can be expected to reach capacity in <br /> :: 'proximatelydays. Use of water conserving fixtures will increase the number of days before the tank <br /> cds to be serviced by a liquid waste carrier. <br /> ARNING: <br /> iilure to have the holding tank serviced on a timely basis may cause wastewater back-up to the dwelling <br /> iid/or discharge from the holding tank's manhole cover. The discharge of sew�gg'99�to the surface of the <br /> ound is a public health hazard and subject to enforcement action by the&J/we/County. <br /> )il settling around the tank perimeter may occur after it has been backfilled. All depressions caused by <br /> it settling should be filled with soil material to prevent surface water collection. Depressions left unfilled <br /> ay allow surface water to freeze and cause frost damage to the manhole riser ring joints or other tank <br /> �mponents. <br /> i o not drive over or near the buried holding tank with any vehicle or construction equipment. All holding <br /> ak walls may be cracked by overhead traffic. Cracked tanks may allow groundwater to enter the holding <br /> nk and increase the frequency of pumping. <br /> any disease-causing viruses,parasites,and bacteria are present in the holding tank's wastewater. Even <br /> e slightest exposure to wastewater may adversely affect ones health and increase the risk of serious <br /> ness. <br /> Gsd — loo ? <br /> ,�/3ey' <br />
