Orenco Septic Tanks for Mound Systems

Hello Savvy Septic Fans,

Just a quick note to clear up some confusion we've been hearing here at City Hall today. Some of you have been seeing giant green tanks that look like AdvanTex systems going into the ground out by the Whispering Spruce / Wilderness construction side and Alder way. These are actually just regular old Orenco septic tanks- there is no pod or insulation because they are being put in with the mound systems. King Bee and Lanning Engineering decided to use the same manufacturer of the AdvanTex systems (Orenco) to supply them with regular septic tanks. I know how similar they look! I did a double take the first time I saw them too, because we are all used to the giant green septic tanks being AdvanTex systems. Fear not, we delivered the notice to proceed to Rockwell Engineering today, and they shall be down to put in the insulated AdvanTex systems as soon as possible. For now though, the only green tanks going in the ground are being put there by King Bee and they are for the Mound Systems. Please refer to pictures below. Give us a call if anything else comes up.

Have a great weekend and think sun!
