Hi,
This summer will be the second one at our new seasonal cottage. Previous owner had a new septic system put in and this year will be the first time any waste water will get into the pump chamber of the tank. It's still empty but the second chamber is almost full.
Does a septic tank of a seasonal cottage typically freeze over winter, where temperatures sometimes go down to -30C (average -15C) ? Should have snow cover of 2ft throughout the season.
Are there any winterizing steps I should take for the tank or pump?
thanks.
