Treatment System
Common terms for the soil treatment system are: drain
field, leachfield, 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. |
