Just as your toilet needs to be cleaned every week or so, wastewater lagoons also frequently fill up with sludge, silt and organic waste materials that do not wash away. Common fillers like grass, leaves, animal waste and waterfowl will speed up the dirtying of a lagoon, and once it’s dirty, complications can arise.
The most common sign that a lagoon needs to be cleaned is when it is overflowing. Other common problems caused by too much grime and waste in a lagoon include heavy algae and cattail growth, toilets that flush more slowly than usual and a bad odor in the air. These problems can prove irritating for those who use lagoons as their wastewater treatment systems. Fortunately, regular cleaning is easy to maintain.
