Question
"High Water Alarm" on septic been going off for 8 MONTHS!?
I rent a duplex and the High Water Alarm on our septic tank has been going off pretty continuously for about 8 months now. The only time it goes off is for 30 seconds when it shoots water 15 feet in the air (over the telephone poles when its rained alot) or when it hasn't rained in weeks. It's driving me INSANE! I've called the property manager about 3-4x a week for the last 6 months and even called the property owner. They say they will send someone out and never have. I'm getting ready to shoot the dang thing. Is there anything legally I can do to get them to come out or to get this to stop??? I keep going out to push the reset button (or off or whatever it is) but it turns back on in about 5 minutes... I know nothing about these things so I can't fiddle with the wiring or anything. If it helps I live in Missouri Middle of NOWHERE Missouri. We don't have a housing clerk or office

Instead of calling the owner or landlord, send a certified letter outlining your issue so you have a paper trail in case this thing blows up. LOL Waiting 6 mos to have something as important as a septic tank repaired or looked at is ridiculous.

Call the Health Dept. Go the the Housing Clerk at the Court House, ask them what you can do.
