I bought my house a couple years ago and its the first one ive lived in that has a septic tank. Ive seen online that you should have your septic tank inspected every 2-3 years and clean it out every 3-5. The only company that services septic tanks around me charges $200 for an inspection and $300 for a clean out.

Are inspections really needed that often? Ive never had any issues with it and i had it inspected when i bought the house. It's a relatively new tank too, the report i got when i bought the house says it was installed in 2020. To me it just doesnt seem to make sense to do an inspection when a clean out is only $100 more.

Should i be paying for inspections every other year? Or is just a clean out every 3 ok?

I havent been to Finlay Park since it reopened. How strictly do they enforce the clear bag policy? Id like to go to some of the music events they have there but a blanket to sit on won't fit in one of those tiny clear bags they say is allowed on the website. What do they do if you try to bring a backpack?

I try to take the bus into downtown if possible to avoid finding parking and dont want to waste an entire trip down there then told my backpack with my laptop and some snacks and a blanket aren't allowed
