HOLDING TANK SYSTEM <br /> �/�rUSERS MANUAL <br /> PROJECT NAME: AAGrr 104L -MA , <br /> SYSTEM OPERATION: <br /> The holding tank system serves to contain wastewater on site until the contents is pumped and hauled to n prop r <br /> point of disposal by an individual certified under Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter NR114 <br /> Wastewater from your home enters the building sewer that terminates at the inlet of a gallon prefab concrete <br /> lank. The tank has a switch that is set to activate when the liquid level reaches a point ^below the lank invert_ <br /> The switch activates a high water alarm located inside a tank alert box that is installed on a pedestal or inside a <br /> dwelling. When the tank is frill of wastewater, the switch will be activated and cause an audible alarm to sound A <br /> switch located on the tank alert box can turn off the audible alarm. The liquid waste carrier contracted to service <br /> the holding hank systeut should be called immediately after the audible alarm is switched off. Thcrc is <br /> approsimately/_5M alIons of reserve capacity left in the holding tank after the alarm is activated. <br /> The amount of wastewater pumped from the holding tank system can be obtained from the liquid waster cai Tier. <br /> The total volume pumped from the holding tank system should then be compared to the amount of water that <br /> Passed through the water supply system. Deviations greater than 20°i10 after reviewing water meter readings versus <br /> the volume reported pumped should be investigated. <br /> DESIGN FLOW: <br /> The holding lank system has a total wastewater capacity ofq�;pllons. Use of water conserving fixtures iv ill <br /> increase the number of days before the tank needs to be serviced by a liquid waster carrier. <br /> WARNING <br /> Failure to have the holding tank serviced on a timely basis may cause wastewater back-up to the dwelling and/or <br /> discharge front the holding tank's manhole cover. The discharge of sewage to the surface of the ground is a public <br /> health hazard and subject to enforcement action by the Ashland County. <br /> Soil settling around the tank perimeter may occur after it has been backfilled All depressions caused by soil <br /> settling should be filled with soil material to prevent surface water collection. Depressions Icll unfilled may allow <br /> surface water to freeze and cause frost damage to the manhole riser ringjoints or there tank components. <br /> Do not drive over or near Ude buried holding tank with any vehicle or construction equipment, All holding tank <br /> walls bay be cracked by overhead traffic. Cracked tanks may allow groundwater to enter the holding tank and <br /> increase the frequency of pumping_ <br /> Many disease-causing viruses, parasites, and bacteria are present in the holding tank's wastewater. Even We <br /> slightest exposure to wastewater may adversely affect ones health and increase the risk of serious illness. <br /> Jok <br /> ,C / :3 <br />
