WATER SYSTEMS

The Conventional Septic System has 3 basic sections or parts:

Part 1. The Main Line transports the sewage from the house to the Septic Tank.

Part 2. The Septic Tank: The Septic Tank's job is to separate the solids from the liquids. Once separated, the tank holds the solids for digestion and periodic removal.

Septic tanks are called "septic" because they work in an anaerobic state.

The septic wastewater (effluent) drains or flows into Part 3. "the Field Lines".

Conventional Field Lines are little more than a trench with gravel to allow the water to disperse and be absorbed by the soil.
