Septic System Design
Designing and installing a septic system must revolve around a few key factors:
​
-
The soil type needs to be identified. This is done by creating test pits and conducting testing to find out how much water is in the soil as well as how quickly water travels through the soil.
-
The presence of limiting conditions, such as bedrock, high water table, or impermeable soil.
-
How much space is there on the lot to accommodate your system? How suitable is the topography to accommodate the correctly sized system? Is there enough space for restrictive setbacks such as property lines, water bodies, breakout areas, culverts, etc?
