Uhhhgg, I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Well actually it won't be so
bad, the pipe doesn't run very far before it dumps into the main septic
line.

Just out of curiousity, is the galvanized and PVC line gonna be full of
septic water?


No. As another poster pointed out, the pipe will be empty except for
a little old bath water in the bottom of the trap. (unless something
is really, really wrong!)

Well, that's not quite true, it will probably have a pretty disgusting
build-up of sludge, soap scum, hair, lint, etc. But no sewage or
(ahem) waste. (Unless you have very unusual bath habits :-) )
