Cess pool

Our cess pool is giving us problems today We are home waiting for cess pool man to come. As a Nassau County raised girl, I do not get this whole cess pool thing. I want to start a campaign for sewers! DH says it will raises taxes but hell, it's a no brainer to me: more tax money or crap coming back at you?

Re: Cess pool

Don't get me started on cesspools.

We just had to RIP up our whole yard and replace the cesspool ($3,000 later). Not only did we have to rip up the yard, we had to rip up our desk and driveway because the pipe was under both. Thank you previous owners

So now a $3,000 job is costing us $12,000 because we need a new driveway and stoop!!!!!

Why can't Suffolk have sewars?

Re: Cess pool

suffolk county is talking about sewers, but it would be a huge undertaking that would cost a lot of money.
I don't see it happening anytime soon. I think that there should be more regulations on cesspools though- like people should have yearly inspections like they have to on a car.

Re: Cess pool

F'ING cesspools! We just had the cesspool company at the house 2 days ago. $425 later....we can finally flush our toilet again!

Re: Cess pool

That's what happened to us, we pumped it twice and then figured that amount of money every time, adds up and we might as well bite the bullet and replace it.

Re: Cess pool

What annoys me is my taxes just went up 12% and I'm paying the taxes of a Nassau County person who gets to have cesspools!!! And better services!!
