The tank should be cleaned in a quarterly maintenance program. The valve to the community should be closed to avoid sediment flowing into the system during cleaning. Open the cleanout valve and drain the tank. The tank should be scrubbed with plastic brushes. A plastic broom can also be used.
Inspect the tank for organic growth. If there is any growth such as algae, the algae should be removed, the tank thoroughly scrubbed in that area and painted. If the tank does not have a smooth concrete surface (inside and outside) the tank should be spackled with a concrete mix (See concrete section of website). The outside tank should be painted as well. If the tank does not have paint, clean the outside of the tank thoroughly. An outdoor high gloss paint should be used.
