Septic Tankville

I was at Loomis Tank Centers in Arroyo Grande today looking at tanks to capture water from the roof drain spouts. (They are very nice there and very, very helpful.) But my attention was quicky diverted to—yes, septic tanks! Unless you saw Don Bearden's tank that he parked in the front of his house several years back, pre-collection system choosing in our sewer project, you really wouldn't know how gigantic these things are as you don't really get to see what is in your own yard because it is buried. Thankfully.

Anyway, have a look! These are sparkly clean, never having experienced what there purpose in life is to be, so they smell nice too. Really! I stood right next to them!

The teeny one, 350 gallons. Kinda looks like that atom bomb, Fat Man, the inner 7-piece Duralumin sphere part.

Next, a nice HDPE model, happy to accommodate 750 gallons.

Taking on the aspect of a truncated  centipede, we have the lovely 1500 gallon model that measures 16 feet long. Link to a photo of a 16 foot great white shark.

And here is a 16 foot fiberglass model, unassembled.

Well, that is my field trip for today. I've been slacking on writing over here. I do apologize; been busy!

(Selfie with a septic!)
