During a recent septic inspection in the Schulenburg area, I observed that many of the tank lids were missing a significant number of attachment screws. As shown in the accompanying photo, this particular lid had all but two screws removed. It is common for individuals to leave only one or two screws in place for easier lid removal when necessary.
However, this practice poses serious safety risks. Septic tanks can be extremely hazardous, and an unsecured lid increases the likelihood of an accident, particularly involving children who may be tempted to open it out of curiosity. Additionally, exposure to toxic gases within the tank can cause disorientation and loss of balance, further increasing the danger of a fall. Ensuring that all screws are securely in place is essential to maintaining a safe environment.
