Harwich Board of Health Recommendations for Septic System Pumping:
For a home with 1-2 people living year round, the BOH recommends pumping every 5 yrs
For a home with more people living year round, the BOH recommends pumping every 2-3 years
For houses used only seasonally doubling the time is generally recommended.
Note : Each household can differ dramatically with water use and what goes down the drain - both are factors in pumping frequency.
A licensed septic hauler would be able to check your system to tell you if pumping is necessary or not if there is ever a question of pumping too infrequently or too frequently.
