The round, black plastic disks appearing in area yards are Septic Risers. The risers allow easier access to the septic tanks for cleaning purposes.
As the season approaches for running lawn and garden equipment, please note the location of these risers and exercise caution when near them.
The risers and covers are the property of the Town of Hume. If damage to them should occur, the property owner will be billed for repair or replacement.

Septic Tank Pumping
Septic tanks are pumped on a scheduled, rotating basis. In most cases, this is a three year cycle. However, if you experience a problem, call the Water and Sewer Department at 567-8082 immediately.
