Welp...we went to settlement on this house three weeks ago knowing the septic was dodgy. It has now officially failed. Hydraulic failure, the health dept guy said, too much stuff sitting in the distribution box.
We have a long, narrow, lot with a stream, a pond, and two wells.
At best, we're looking at a pump system.....the couple of hundred feet to a new drain field spot...across the stream and at least 35 feet from the pond.
At worst...an alternative system of some sort.
*sigh*
Life is just one complication after another sometimes.
