On site septic disposal systems
Common in rural areas
On-site septic disposal systems are common in rural areas, and increasingly in suburban and urban areas, where public sewage treatment systems do not exist. A complete modern septic system consists of a buried concrete septic tank, usually 1000 to 1500 gallon capacity, and a leach field. The tank holds the solid waste from a home’s plumbing waste drains, the leach field distributes the wastewater into the ground where it disperses through the soil or evaporates. In area with poor soil
conditions, or high ground water traditional septic systems are unfeasible.
Technological developments have made it possible for onsite systems to function properly. They treat wastewater and solids more completely and making it possible for the effluent to enter the ground.
Some examples are: Chromaglass, Elgin media systems, White Knight Treatment System inoculators/generator, Infiltrators.
The septic tank operates by decomposing solid waste through a variety of bacteria. A properly designed and normally operating septic system is odor free. With the required periodic pumping, the septic tank should last for decades.
