I'm told I have a STEP or a STEG system on my property, what does that mean?

A STEP system is a Septic Tank Effluent Pump system, and a STEG system is a Septic Tank Effluent Gravity system.  These systems hold the solid waste and transport the liquid waste from your house to our mainline using a pump (STEP) or gravity (STEG).  RVSS maintains the tanks and removes the solid waste on a regular basis.
