Q: How often should a septic tank be pumped?

• <div><p>The septic tank needs to be pumped at least every three to five years. If the septic tank is too small for the property, you might find it needs to be pumped more frequently, and during an inspection, a septic company may recommend updating your system to a larger septic tank. While 750-gallon tanks used to be standard, septic tanks with a 1,250-gallon capacity are now more common. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts suggest for well pumps?

• <div><p>Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.</p></div>

Q: Is well water safe to drink?

• <div><p>With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. </p><p>If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.</p></div>

Q: What pressure should I set my well pump pressure switch to?
