I would like to add something. If it is a fiberglass lid then fix it as other have said. Now I had one of the old hand layied and built cisterns. I came home one night and there was a HUGE hole in the lawn. The thing had collapsed. Had a 1000 gallon cement tank installed as a "repair", and have been fine since. Pump every three years. Add a 5lb. bag of sugar once or twice a year. Thing of beauty. Now up at the folks farm they had a metal tank from the 1940s. Do you have any idea who in their right mind could think a steel tank and water with poo is going to work? It took till the early 70s but that tank finally caved in. One back hoe latter and a nice cement tank. If you can figure out what the rest of your tank is made of that might tell you were you need to go. The bad news is there are a lot of areas in the country where they want you to install fields that could service a truck stop! Costs in the $10.ooo area! See if you can find out who casts tanks and burial vaults in your area and they can tell you who will do just a little under the table work. Not totally illegal,,,, you can "repair" parts of your system and most of the time get away with it. You can also install a burial vault on your property. wink wink Have seen quite a few. Two neighbors over built onto their house a "mother in law extension" They had to put in a full field and WOW did it ever cost. When everything was done the mother in law croaked not even six months later. Just my thoughts and what I have seen.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
