The Field Before Dirt

Here is the pipe coming out of the house.  It heads slightly downhill to the tank.  The bottom of the trench is lined with sand to provide a stable base.

This picture shows the entire field and the pipe doing from each section of the septic field.

The pipe coming from the house to the tank had to line up perfectly with the inlet on the tank.

As you can see, the pipe coming out the other end of the tank is at a lower level.  This is where the siphon shoots the water down the hill.

Here is the giant hole filled with the tubes of packing peanuts.  The water enters through the pipe in the foreground and runs back and forth through the tubes.

The end of the sand filter takes a sharp turn downhill toward the pond.

And finally, it disappears into the brush....to water the plants down there.
