dispersal field was not an option. System designers looked to alternative solutions.
Two separate systems, one for the showers and the other for the kitchen, were designed to handle 600 gpd each. In each system, wastewater travels to two 1,000-gallon septic tanks followed by an 880-square foot Advanced Treatment Leachfield (ATL) by Infiltrator sand bed dispersal field. Using ATL reduced the system footprint allowing the project to move forward.
Installation went very smoothly and fit the site limitations exactly as designed. The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Association, the Jackson County Health Department, and Infiltrator Water Technologies participated in coordinating the project as a CEU credit demonstration for over 30 contractors, design engineers, and Alabama Department of Public Health staff.
