Ah the joys of mountain living... uphill septic systems! I have a similar
setup, but the catch tank is buried in the backyard, and about the size of a
large trash can. 40 gal maybe?
I live in fear of the day it starts malfunctioning. When it does, screw "DIY"!
I'm just calling a septic / plumbing pro to make it right. I really don't
wanna mess with my own poop water, much less a friend of a friend's! So unless
the friend's house sitting agreement included playing plumber -- ask the owner
how they're going to arrange to pay the fix it guy!
And what's the Colorado comment? Are you short on water out there?
