Re: Septic tank pipe, 4
I dug it out and put a ground level access hatch in its place so that I could mow there. more
I like the idea of a ground-level hatch. [links]
Just a-wonderin what the heck it is
Probably for an RV. For septic inspections and pump-out when its time to sell, the hatches will have to be uncovered and pulled. here

We are looking to create an area that still has a little grass patch, along with a path of some short. We live in the Bay Area, but get a lot of fog!
I want to add flowers and pebbles or gravel something to make this look better more
How can make my small backyard look better I just pulled up tall weeds so I’m left with dirt it needs to be covered on my small budget [links]
Hello and good day!I live in a manufactured home park. The homes are owned, but the land the homes sit on belong to the park. I need some ideas for a section of my f. See more
7) Clean-out for the main drain line to septic tank or sewer - This pipe will be larger-diameter plastic and should have a removable cap on it. But if the top is missing or you remove it, you will be looking down a few feet to a horizontal pipe that will have a small stream of fluid flowing at the bottom when any plumbing fixtures in the home are in use.
2) Underground fuel oil tank - If the home is pre-1970, and there is a pair of galvanized steel pipes within a couple of feet from each other as in the photo above, it may be evidence that a storage tank for a long-gone fuel oil furnace is still in place underground. There will be a mushroom shape over one pipe (vent) and a hinged flap over the other (fill) if the top pieces are still intact, or it may just be two rusty pipes with threaded ends if they have been removed.
4) Abandoned well - If the pipe is a larger diameter of two to six inches with a threaded end and goes way down into the ground, it may be an abandoned well. Do you see the reflection of water at the bottom when you shine a flashlight down it? If so, it should be sealed to avoid contamination of the aquifer below. here
6) Underground water shut-off valve - When there’s a water pipe underground with an in-line shut-off valve, a large diameter plastic, often light green, will be installed over it so you can reach down in the ground to use the valve. However, over time, leaves and dirt tend to fall into the pipe and you may have to dig down a little ways to see if there is a valve down there.
Without being there, we can’t tell you for sure. But there’s plenty of possibilities—most of them indicative of something that was formerly at that location but now gone. Here’s eight we know of: more
5) Location of former LP-gas tank - A curved copper pipe with a threaded female fitting at the end may be for a former above-ground LP-gas tank at that location. here
Do you have one or more of those skinny, White PVC Pipes sticking up in your yard? If you do, you are not alone. These are probably Inspection Pipes for your Septic System . Many homes in the Princeton and Zimmerman MN area have an underground system used to hold and treat sewage waste. Septic Systems often include a PVC Inspection Pipe which is typically between 3” and 6” in diameter. They allow your Septic Sewer Service Provider to monitor the level of liquids in the Soil Absorption Area , also known as a Drainfield . Custom Septic, Inc. (CSI) uses these narrow pipes as a convenient way to inspect the Sewer System.
Each Residential Septic System is designed specifically to fit the needs of each individual home. A narrow, white PVC pipe is usually part of the overall Sewage Treatment Design . The pipe is designed to stick up out of the ground for easy access when checking to see if the system is working properly and when the Septic Tank needs to be pumped out again.
