Cistern discussed


Septic tank and drainage discussed


This house septic tank and drainage system was installed in 1985.
The tile lines can be located since the soil has settled in those trenches.


Mapping the farm yard where the water lines, hydrants, water sources, and septic tank are located.
How rain water and snow melt drains around hog houses and cattle yards.

This well is still in use.
It is recommended that abandoned wells be sealed and filled up with soil.


Because this well is near a waterway and in the floodplain, we put a 3 feet berm around the well in 1974.
Because of the record flood levels in 1993, we raised the berm to 4 - 5 feet.


Getting a sample of the water from the house.
