A septic tank is commonly used in rural areas where there is no connection to the main sewerage system and, according to the American Ground Water Trust, around a third of American homes are serviced by a septic tank. The tank will be buried somewhere near your home and the waste is delivered to it via a pipe leading from the house. If you have a septic tank, it is important to keep it clean and in good order because if your tank develops a serious problem, it can be expensive to fix.

Unscrew the lid on top of the filter unit to expose the filter. Wearing the gloves and goggles, pull the filter out. Attach the hose to a faucet and hose down the filter until there is no waste left on it. Make sure that the water always is facing away from you as you do this. Replace the filter and screw down the lid.

Contact your local authority to see if they can recommend a cleaning contractor, as some states insist that cleaners of septic tanks be licensed. Cleaning septic tanks is a specialized job and you should always use a reputable professional. You also can ask friends and neighbors for a recommendation. The contractor will back his truck as close as possible to your drain and insert a hose into your septic tank. The contents of the tank will then be pumped into the back of the enclosed truck. The contractor also may hose down the inside of the tank to remove any debris that may have become lodged, This water also will then be pumped out.

Introduce a natural bacterial product such as BioGest to optimize the natural bacterial activity inside the tank. These bacteria break down the waste allowing liquid to rise to the top and "sludge" to form at the bottom. These bacteria balancing products come in sachets that can be introduced either directly into the septic tank or via the toilet, and will maintain the bacterial levels within the tank.

Never flush away cat litter, sanitary products or anything else that could clog the system.

Do not use anti bacterial cleaning products on a regular basis as these will interfere with the natural bacteria that are keeping your septic tank clean.

January 11, 2014 Wheelhouse Restaurant construction on-going

Mary Meaux The Port Arthur News The Port Arthur News Sat Jan 11, 2014, 12:47 PM CST

PORT NECHES Construction of the Neches River Wheelhouse restaurant is moving along at a steady pace with a possible opening date in late March.

Bert Lamson, one of a group of private investors in the project, said recent rainy days have slowed down the construction a bit but not much.

The building is almost dried in and the parking lot has been poured, Lamson said of the restaurant to be located at 720 Lee St. adjacent to Port Neches Riverfront Park. Once the building is dried in and weather-proofed we will start working on the inside.

The investors are also mulling over the menu for the new restaurant that will serve Cajun/seafood type food as well as burgers and po boys.

Once open, the restaurant will have a maximum occupancy of 260 people and feature a 12-foot porch in front as well as another 12-foot porch on top.

The idea of a waterfront restaurant was brought to the Riverfront Development Authority in May by Lamson. From there, the issue went to city council, the planning and zoning commission and the citys economic development corporation.

In August, the city conveyed the property to the Port Neches Economic Development Corporation, as per government code, then sold the 2.5 acres of land for $1 to the investment group. The land is appraised at about $550,000.
