Country folk know that nothing ever really goes away. What goes down the septic comes back up the well if the system doesn't work properly. Water does not flow uphill. Turns out the septic tank had settled about 3 inches so it was lower than the septic field. Many thousands of dollars later everything is working fine. Small machines and big machines were needed to finish up the job.

One of the great things about living in the country is not having to pay water or sewage bills. The downside is when the well fails, or the septic stops working. No showers, no laundry and no toilet. That's when you call in the "honey " wagon. Then you have a bill to pay. The septic always goes when you have a lot of people around, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving. City folk just don't seem to understand what happens when they flush thier toilets. Country folk unerstand just fine.
