Septic service in Redmond, OR

Redmond has grown to about 38,500 people, and while the city itself is largely on sewer, the farms, ranchettes and rural subdivisions around it rely on septic. Those properties tend to have larger lots and longer runs between the house, tank and drain field.

How does winter affect rural septic systems?

Deschutes County's building design criteria use an 18-inch minimum frost depth. Shallow lines, lids and pump chambers on rural properties can be harder to reach in winter, and lines that hold water can freeze. Knowing where your tank is and having risers installed makes winter service much easier.
