SepticSmart Week is an annual event that occurs in the third week of
September. Communities, local groups, and state governments can bring
attention to the importance of caring for and maintaining septic systems
by organizing homeowner education events, sponsoring workshops, or
sharing social media from the SepticSmart program.

There are many types of septic systems (wastewater treatment systems),
including advanced systems such as ATU’s (aerobic treatment units).
HIBLOW septic aerators are the “heart” of ATU’s breathing oxygen into
the tank which is “food” for the “good” bacteria. That beneficial
bacteria treats wastewater substantially better than a conventional
system and helps prevent drain fields from clogging among many other
benefits. Regardless of the type of system, the following tips are
good for anyone not on a municipal sewer system.
