Will My Septic System Still Work When My Power is Out.?
Yes. Your septic system will work without power but if your power fails it is important to be water wise. Pump septic systems do need electricity to move effluent (liquid sewage) from the septic tank into the drainfield.

THINGS THAT SHOULD NEVER GO IN YOUR SEPTIC TANK
REDUCE EMERGENCY SEPTIC SERVICES WITH MAINTENANCE
You can do your part to keep your septic tank healthy and reduce the frequency of septic tank pumping. First, don’t put anything down your septic system that is non-biodegradable, such as cigarette butts, diapers, paper towels, and more. Plus, installing an effluent filter, which helps to decrease the number of solids that leave the tank helps promote your septic tank’s health.
