I've been working diligently away here getting requested copies of my 'Salt Spring Island Buyer's Guide' out, and have been receiving great feedback. One of the websites I mention in my guide has ended up being quite useful to a number of folks. That website is:

This web document gives a really good run-down of how septic systems work, and how to properly maintain and use them. I know it was exceptionally useful to me when I first moved to the island - after living in Vancouver for 10 years, and only owning a condo previously, septic systems were a strange and unusual contraption to try and figure out. There were a few things (unclogging a drain, for example) I had to learn to do a little differently in order to keep my septic field healthy. Thank goodness I read this document first.
Things are quieting down here on the Island these days - at least as far a tourism goes. Parking downtown is much easier now, and so is getting a table at a restaurant. It's actually a great time of year to visit Salt Spring - quieter, the Saturday market is still going on for a little longer, it's still relatively warm, and it's a perfect for curling up in the evening with a glass of wine and watching the rain.
Have fun - N
