Thanks, Shaun!

I'm sure they don't, Deanna.

Well, it's a private septic and well, so only this duplex is on it.  It's outside of town.  So far, I told the tenant that said his son was flushing baby wipes down that once we get all the bills we will have to discuss how he plans to take care of it (I don't think he realizes how much it's going to be) and he said "sounds good".  So I guess only time will tell!  

We spent upwards of $10,000 grand on a tampon stuck in a check valve under a driveway last year that we footed the bill for, same situation.

update: one side completely denies having anything like that and the other side said they assume the wipes are from them...

We had a plugged septic drain in a brand new duplex (less than a year old), the plug ended up being a bunch of, what appears to be white shop towels, rags or baby wipes?  The plug was in super far so simply flushing the toilet did not back up the septic.  However, when the iron filter flushed through the water at midnight, one side had water all over their basement storage room and soaked into the carpet.  Bills will add up to almost $3,000.  Can we charge the tenant if they fess up to flushing the rags?  What if neither side of the duplex admits to it?  It is a shared septic.  Can we charge each side half?  What does everyone think?
