Your contractor must design your septic system so it can
handle the flow, both now and in the future. Many site-specific factors
must be considered.

RWASTE
V: Indiana Onsite Wastewater System Design
|
| This program should give you a better idea of what your
contractor has to consider when designing your septic system. RWASTE V
recommends a specific type of system best suited to a particular set of
site and soil conditions, and provides specific design information. The
program estimates the amount of gravel needed for construction as well
as suggesting system layouts which will best fit the shape and size of
disposal area available. The program will also size the pump and piping
needs for pressure distribution systems. The design recommendations must
then be reviewed and altered to fit the actual features of the site by
a consulting engineer. |
