So my sewage goes from my basement and into a basin outside the house, underground, that collects the sewage and once it reaches a certain point it gets pumped out to the street. My electric bill has been thru the roof and ive been trying to figure out why.
I decided to check my water meter for any leaks and it appears to hold the same for the hour and a half that I checked it. Went outside to the basin and upon listening I could hear that the pump was going off. I waited and about 5 mins and I heard the pump go off again. It uses so much electricity that the lights in my house dim when it comes on. Anyway i could hear sewage filling it up, even tho there was no water getting used in my house. Any ideas whats going on?
