The reason we have to use a different system now is because of all the dairy farms in this area.
Use to be the government never enforced the laws and a lot of dairy sewerage made it into the local river. Things got so bad the board of health closed the river down. No swimming/tubing and or fishing. This forced them to go from one extreme to the other to try and clean up the run off.
While I had a regular metal septic tank and drain field when I moved here in 1981; I was forced to install this new system when I built my new house in 1991. The system I have now is out dated but as long as I do not make any major changes it is allowed. I have neighbors that still have the old metal septic tank and drain field because they have made no major changes since it was installed.
I do not know what the system used today cost but my system was $2200 for the tank and air pump and pipes. I had to install it myself. Once I had it installed the place I bought the tank from had to come out and shoot the grade to make sure everything was within regulations and sign off on it so I could get the electricty turned on.
