Bringin' this one back,

For the last few weeks there has been raw sewage draining into my back yard. I figured this out when one section of grass was MUCH MUCH greener and thicker than the rest of the yard.

I reported this to the RE management, and they sent a dude out who handed me a bottle of something and told me to pour the stuff in the shitter and flush twice.

It turns out that this is a septic system, and septic systems require maintenance. I never had one before. It turns out the emergency septic treatment liquid is a bunch of bacteria and enzymes that eat sewage sludge. The stuff goes down there and converts your black waste ooze into something more... drainable?

These bacteria literally eat shit and die.

Anyway, the treatment didn't work and there is still sewage in my backyard, so I just went and bought a bottle of the stuff myself. It says flush twice, but then don't flush again, and try not to drain any water for 24 hours. The dude didn't tell me that, so I'm guessing that I inadvertently messed up the first treatment.

24 hours began after the morning duke. Wish me luck.
