Grinder Pump

 

 

 

This is a continuation of the progress we are making on the conversion of the garage into a house. We do not have a septic system. It is a grinder pump which pumps sewage into the sewer pipe in the street. This is the hole where the tank (which houses the pump - the house drains empty into this tank) is placed. When the tank gets filled to a certain point, the pump turns on and empties the contents. The "smoke" is concrete dust. the tank has to be secured with cement!
