Strange weather in January allowed us to get the soil tests done. Our
neighbor John came over with his excavator, and we had an engineer come
out to determine our soil type and kind of septic we needed. We dug
three test holes, and the engineer conducted perc tests to determine the
water capacity of the soil. Amazingly, our soil was good enough for an
in-ground leach field, which should save a good deal of money (as
opposed to having to build an above-ground leach field). Board of Health
inspector came out during the same day and inspected the test holes -
good to go! We filed for official Board of Health approval and received
the design of the septic and site plan from the engineer.
