They wanted to put the "mound" in front of the house, Hell no it went in the field 200 feet away no way was I going to look at that every day.

Like this just one more tank I guess for semi solids? Really stupid if you ask me, part of our closing was to get a new septic system put in we had a old cesspool prob from the early 1900's since it was brick lined and in pa it is illegal to use so he had to put $20k in escro. The new system was $19500!

OUCH

That what they insist you put in here when your traditional system fails. People end up homeless over it.

That is INSANE!

 

[halifaxhops]

Yeah the old owner was pissed prob would have been 15k in front of the house! Hey there was 20k available f hm.

 

[GeorgeH]

Thats sad, and a hell of a lot of money so I understand how that could happen.

They want you to have a permit to even pump out. So everybody gets involved. Most try and do repairs on the down low, but ya always got that one neighbor. Health Dept steps in declares the house unlivable with no septic and your out the door. Most don't have or can get 20k, I have heard some upwards of 30k for a larger 4+ bedroom house.

You have to be kidding me.

let me guess, you have to be a certified installer to put one in as well right?

 

[halifaxhops]

Yup here it is, They also want a perk test where the sand mound goes also it is a joke the post dig a hole dump 5 gallons of water in and makes sure it drains in a certain amount of time. $250 to do it.

That's what they told me at the zoning dept. Alot of cheap houses for sale here, investors dream, until you can't get a C.O. until the septic is redone.

yep, and it has to be built to the Health Dept Engineers plans, yup they get to design it.

Three 1500 gallon concrete Tubes? The bottoms are on the soil.

A lot of our old rural systems used 55 gal drums. They didn't last forever.
