Right, they are pumped, but people are hired to do that kind of maintenance (well, normally.)

I wouldn't consider uncovering the lid as maintenance in the tank. Bad she fell in, but that reason would be less dramatic than what the article implies, that she was on a DIY mission to work on her tank.

"There was a tractor in the area and a hole had been dug exposing the tank..."

Looks a tad more involved than merely digging a hole to expose the lid for the pumping truck.

In any case, Manuel OKelley wins the thread pun at post #25. That's what is truly important here! :)

That doesn’t even make sense. Even if there had been work done on the septic tank by someone else, you just don’t reach down and lift the top off those things. It requires the use of a machine at least. Ours is a concrete covering. When it’s pumped out, they use the forks on the whatever machine that use to dig down to the top of the septic tank to lift it off the tank. Who would uncover a septic tank and walk away and leave it open? Someone’s not paying attention.

Most women I know from Oregon pretty much match that women’s history.
