We pump routinely as the service company recommends. We coordinate with neighbors so we can share the cost of the barge. Septic designs for islands are like those on the mainland, based on the number of bedrooms, soils, slopes etc.. Since a lot of the use is weekends only and not at all for ~6 months, the routine pumping may have a longer cycle than mainland. Note that (Gilford) island residents, through tax dollars also supported the construction of the Winnipesaukee River watershed protection project (sewer) that runs from West Alton to the Franklin Wastewater Treatment facility.
