Hi Everyone,
I'm building a new house that will require a sewage pump and the local sewer district standards call for a vault capacity of 300 gal above the high wet well alarm level. Needless to say, that's a big tank, around 500 gal total I'm told. I've done a web search and the biggest poly tanks I can find are around 100 gal with fiberglass tanks going up to about 250 gal. Is a concrete vault my only option here? Or can two or more smaller tanks be plumbed together into a single system?
Weight is an issue here, unfortunately. An easement disagreement late in the project forced me to abandon my planned gravity line and the location for the sewage basin isn't easily accessible by a machine that could lift a concrete vault.
Any advice would be appreciated.
James
