I've got a 900 or 1200 gallon septic tank now. It's likely that the city will annex my property and run a sewer line down the street in the near future. I'm wondering what I might have to do to change from the septic system to the sewer.
The septic tank is in the back of the house, and the sewer line will run down the center of the street, which is about 100' from the front of the house. I doubt the sewer line will be low enough to allow a gravity feed, and in any case doubt that 2 90 degree bends would be allowed to get around the house, with a total run of about 150'. So, I think I'll be looking at a macerator/pump kind of system. What can you tell me, generally, about how this is usually done?
