Wells, Sump Pumps and Septic Sewage Systems - Annoying Septic Tank Riser!!

Evening Septic Experts!

It’s the perfect late summer evening, and I am sitting out on my deck looking at my beautiful yard…all except the for the septic tank riser that is sticking out 24 inches about the ground! It looks like a fricking missile silo!

We just got done with a house remodel where we added a few rooms and had to get the septic system / field enlarged. We had to move the field and it was a tad above the elevation of the tanks, so they did a L(ow) P(ressure) D(istrubution?) system.

The septic tank riser is on the second tank that gets pumped out to the field, and in addition to what is some PVC plumbing inside of the riser running down into the tank, there is also a electrical box mounted on the side of the riser.

So I can’t stand looking at the thing, and it’s smack dab in the middle of my kids football field.

What are my options for reconfiguring (electrical? plumbing in the riser?) so I can put this stuff below / in the ground?

Thanks,

Steve

depends on whether or not the riser has part of your water inside it or not, if it needs to be that high to prevent spillage of waste on the lawn, then you will need to landscape around it. if not you might be able to lower it into something like a box for a sprinkler valve. Just make sure not to bury it or when you need access or the next owner needs access you might have to spend a lot of time looking for it.
