So this summer we decided to put in an above ground pool, but we wanted it semi--buried so we called 811 and i also got a power line locator. all clear in the area we wanted.
The crew came out and aside from all the sand stone they hit two white pvc 3 or 4 inch with holes in it, the lines were covered with rock. Since we couldn't dig at the moment I called out a septic company and went over the setup, where our septic is to where the lines were hit is about 55 feet. They said even if we put the pool here it won't affect the septic system, we put a water hose down the clean out and ran it for 20 min, during that time no water ran out so he said that the ground (we're in Edmond, OK its mostly red dirt) would absorb just fine with 30' less since the pool is about 30'
anyhow, lately especially on rainy days the shower drain backs up, i check the clean out but by that time the water goes down.
Thoughts... dig up and redirect new leech lines elsewhere (we're on 2.5 acres) or possibly add a submersible pump and put that water on a sprinkler line to my fruit trees....
Any suggestions or thoughts on this issue....
Thanks!
can't see it in the pic, but in the center of the hole is where we hit the lines they went across towards the pool pump.
