Why is the grass over my septic tank greener than the rest of my lawn?
Short Answer
Leaking wastewater may be fertilizing the grass.
Detailed Answer
Septic wastewater contains nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus that encourage rapid plant growth. Grass directly above leaking tanks, pipes, or drain fields may appear noticeably greener and healthier than surrounding areas.
