Sarah Nelson Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does anyone know of any case studies regarding JK destroying a well or septic system? Our environmental health department would really like to get its technicians involved in the great work our CISMA is doing, but needs some hard evidence that it relates directly to their jobs. Japanese knotweed is a no-brainer, we all know it can bust through the infrastructure they work on, like wells and septic systems. Unfortunately, they need more concrete documentation of those issues. Thanks, I really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Grzesiak Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Unfortunately, all I have is anecdotal. I have clear photo evidence of the plant growing through various infrastructure (basements, brickwork, siding, etc.), but none for septics... yet. Good luck!
