The rare private-septic exceptions are pre-1960 hillside properties along Mount Helix and the rural-edge parcels on the community perimeter. Most La Mesa calls are sewer line issues, not septic..

What is included in the Tank Pro Plan?
Pumping is scheduled separately at the right interval based on your measurements, most households on the plan pump every 4 years instead of guessing.
How much money does the plan actually save?
Typical break-even is at the first avoided emergency call or the first deferred pump. Long-term, the real savings are drain field life, fields that get inspected annually last 25-35 years instead of 12-18 years.
