....or is it waste naught...whatever. In the basement, the new waste ejector has been installed. Our home was built in 1933 and originally had a septic tank system. At some later time when the rest of the area was built up and public sewars were put it, our house must have been hooked up to the public main and the septic system abandoned. However, the main waste pipe rather than exiting through the basement floor exits about 
two or three feet above the floor. Hence, when we do laundry in the basement we need to pump the waste water up to exit in the main sewar pipe. In the past we always just let the waste water from the laundry go into our basement sump pump (that also collects ground water) and then pumped out in the city sewars.....which is illegal. So we fixed it and now have a ground water sump pump and a separate sewage ejector. Supposedly, if we ever want to install a toilet or shower in the basement we can tap into the right end of the pipe that is partially buried in this picture. Okay enough about sewage.
