You can get risers for the lids so that it's all above ground. Most "modern" systems have them. You won't have to dig them up anymore, but there is a bit of a smell. I used to live up 4 Mile and, due to a car accident, I didn't get it together to get the septic pumped as I should have & my husband didn't notice the smell even though he walked right by it a couple times a day. The concrete got eaten through & when I contacted Acme about it, they said, "if you're going to sell the house in a few years, you don't have to do anything about it". Right. We got a new septic installed. When I tried to find other septic companies to come out, most were reluctant. We were on private roads. Either Sullivan or SucNUp would (I don't remember which), under duress, but I think they offered a discount if several neighbors wanted their systems pumped at the same time. They prefer wide roads, but since Bar-K is county maintained, that shouldn't be an issue.
