We are currently working with the CT Yankee Council – Boy Scouts of America to build a septic system to service the new Cub Resident Camping facilities at Deer Lake Scout Reservation in Killingworth.

Deer Lake is a fully developed camp with many venues. The first impression is that of visiting a typical, beautiful New England farm - including great lodges, challenging COPE and rock climbing, amazing geological features for exploration, waterfront activities and much more.

Deer Lake covers 253 acres. Weekend camping has been the major use of the camp but its programs include a Learning For Life summer day camp for youths 5-17 years old and wilderness training sessions for adventurers of all ages. New this summer, the Cub Scout resident camp program will move from Camp Sequassen to Deer Lake. The new facilities will include a magnificent timber frame dining hall (that looks more like a barn), new lean-to campsites and shower houses, as well as many new program features.

Kaiser-Battistone is proud to be able to help design and install the septic systems for this venture.

Recently, our General Manager, Bill Hall, worked with a group of Westport high school students and “starred” (about a minute on screen) in their production of Pump It Up Baby.

This is a “mockumentary” stressing the importance of proper septic system maintenance, especially in coastal communities. The screenplay was written by local resident, Helen Martin Block.

Below is an article written by Vinti Singh for the CTnews.com blog.

A Movie About Septic Systems that’s Surprisingly Entertaining

October 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm by Vinti Singh

An interesting plot line can make any subject interesting – including septic systems. In fact, the catchy songs and the cute little love story almost make you forget you’re learning about the value of taking proper care of your septic system. I particularly loved the auto-tuned dance track about draining your septic system.

Helen Martin Block hosted a viewing of the mockumentary, “Pump it Up, Baby” at the Green Market Exposition at the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport on Saturday.

There are 6,000 septic systems in Westport, and how people take care of their septic system directly affects the drinking water quality and Long Island Sound health.

Block sat on Westport’s Planning & Zoning Commission in 2007, and wanted to find a way to educate people in a fun way. Block wrote the script and worked with students from Staples High School in Westport to produce the movie.

“With small grant, we transformed the script to very engaging and funny film with terrific information told to us by experts,” Block said.

Walter Kosner (now at Columbia College in Chicago) and Michael Holmes (now at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts) wrote musical arrangements for Block’s script, did the casting and the filming.

Community service and involvement is important to us. That’s why we become a sponser to support the efforts of the Wilton Playshop.

In the Fall of 2010, we sponsored the Wilton Playshop production of Urinetown. We’ve been proudly helping townsfolk “keep the pee off the streets and the water in the ground” by providing septic system service & installation, full service plumbing, drain cleaning and water treatment since 1935. Three lucky audience members from each night’s show received gift certificates for service work. And we gave out mini plungers to the opening night audience as well as cast and crew. They ended up doubling as champagne glasses when the after-show toast was made!

We are also supporting the Wilton Playshop’s 2011 Season. Check out their show schedule and support local art endeavors at http://www.wiltonplayshop.org.

We have sponsored a Relay for Life Team the past 3 years and have been the highest fundraising team the past 2 years at the Norwalk event.  Our team name is:
