People think a septic job is just a tank and a drip field. This one has been a lot more than that.
We're working on a children's home with three houses spread across several lots and a creek running through the middle. Before we could even start the septic design, we had to work through:
- Keeping the private wells vs. tying into a public water system
- The 5,000 gallon a day limit per property
- Closing a road between the lots and replatting the property
- New lot lines that meet the county's minimum lot sizes
- Access easements for the neighboring lots
- Creek, well, and floodplain setbacks
Close to a dozen layout options and a replat plan, all before the first soil boring. That's the part of this work most people never see.
If you've got a property that's more complicated than it looks, give us a call.
