do you know if you have an aerobic or an anerobic septic system? I have an aerobic system that we use to water the yard. I dont detect any smell as long as the air pumps are working properly but If the air pump goes out you will know right away. Im not sure what it would take to convert your system but the bubbler is not terribly expensive and I have replaced it myself twice buying it off amazon. We had a drought here about ten years ago and I watched the weather everyday hoping it would rain. I have since drilled a water well and have dug two surface tanks as insurance against our next drought. Im wondering how different your weather is from Texas? We have mild winters and very hot summers. When I was in Provence France It reminded me a little bit of where I live.
