Im currently hooked up to the city sewer. But i guess this house used to have septic.
I had a hole in my yard thats always filled with mud. I could see a pipe running down hill away from the house so i assumed thats where the water was coming from.
The pipe i saw was coming from my downspout. But when i removed it to relace it i found that the water was actully coming from a 3 or 4 inch pvc pipe that was running into the old septic tank. But the hole in the septic tank and that pipe were not perfectly linned up.
Anyway water was coming out of that pipe pretty steady.
I know its not coming from my water supply because its not turning the water meter at the street.
My question is if i were to put a cap on the pipe would that create pressure somewhere else?
Where could this water be coming from? Should i try and get the pipe back in the septic tank? Should i just fill the hole with concrete and call it a day?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks
