Anyway, that mount will eventually come down maybe a few inches, perhaps in three or four years. Just make sure to never drive a vehicle or something heavy like that over it. You want the dirt on top to stay as loose as possible. Too late now, but you can always rake the dirt to make it even and spread wild-flower seeds. Daisies grow like crazy around here.

Where my farm was located, I had to put a new septic system in before selling it to my son.

If I moved it behind the house,I would have to move 3 rows of pine tree wind break that was already shoulder high. Plus, in northern climates the north , shaded , side is not a good idea.
Total cost.......lift pump, 2 tanks, etc..............$11,000
