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.
