Description: I was called to a residence because the pumper could not find the tank and the homeowner didn’t know the location. The pumper thought he had found the sewer pipe that ran from the house to the tank. They dug up the pvc line then told his worker to stick his head in the ground and listen for the water running, as he went inside to run the water. By the way, it didn’t work.
