Treatment System
Common terms for the soil treatment system are: drain field,
leach field, seepage bed, soil absorption field and mound.
The soil treatment system is where the final treatment
and disposal of the septic tank effluent takes place.
A properly designed and installed soil treatment system
will destroy all disease-causing pathogens and filter
out the fine solids contained in the septic tank effluent. |
