THE SOIL IS THE SYSTEM

What if you have high groundwater or your soils aren't suitable for "conventional septic"?

CONVENTIONAL SEPTIC

Suitable soil is necessary for successful
wastewater treatment (Source: EPA)

The purpose of conventional septic is to hold wastewater long enough to separate solids & begin decomposition

When the effluent exits the septic tank it flows (via gravity or pump) to the dispersal field (aka absorption field or drainfield) for final treatment by the soil

The soil is the most important part of conventional treatment and it must be suitable to remove microorganisms & nutrients before encountering groundwater



For effective treatment, soils should be readily perkable and also be above water tables & bedrock

If the soil isn't suitable, advanced treatment may be required
