Dumping RV tanks into home syptic system

Think about it this way. Municipal wastewater treatment plants spend thousands of dollars each year to haul away the solids that accumulate in their digesters, so why shouldn't the same be true for the home system?Digesters are usually associated with medium to large cities where you have 10's of thousands of residences and buisnesses coming in. To build a drain field to handle this would be on the order of several square miles. This is why septic systems are usually only used in rural areas.

Or, another way to think about it, is that it's cheap insurance ($280.00 here in Central Oregon for a 1000 gallon tank) in case those of you who don't believe in regular pumping are mistaken. Given this, how can you lose?You lose $280. If that was the only time you use this thought process, it's not a big deal. If you use it regularly in all phases of your life, this thought process will cost you many thousands per year. Why spend the money on something totally unneccessary?

But again, I don't care what anyone here does. I am just trying to help save money on repair costs, or earn you more money when you sell your home.....oh yea, and to share what I learned about RV chemicals going into septic tanks.Doesn't really help you save money and doesn't really help you sell your home because if the govt says you have to pump the tank when you sell, it doesn't matter if you pump it every 3yrs. They will require it to be pumped again for the sale.
