Is a grade level septic cover standard? Mine's about 12" underground.


bet it wouldnt meet code today......


Yeah I was gonna say, mine is about 12" below ground too. I don't have to
worry about smell - its covered with 6" of loose soil and it fits tightly to
boot!.


Same here. Having dug it out and helped open/close it every 5 years
for 30 years I can gaurantee you that 'lifing it and setting itdown
gently, or rotating and trying the fit' ain't in the cards even with
a helper.
