Septic system

Hi guys just thought I would update on how everything is going. I will endeavor to make weekly or fortnightly postings on how everything is going. We have received our quote for our septic system which is about $6,500 for the system not including the plumbing to the house and an additional $400 for the permits etc from council that the contractor is taking care of.

The system consists of
- The septic tank
- 24sqm sand filter
- 1000 Lt pump well
- submersible pump
- 250 sqm irrigation system
- visual alarm
- chlorination chamber

From what I have read elsewhere the system we use in Victoria can be very different to those used in other states. Ours discharges onto the land and only requires pumping of the tank for maintenance rather than really emptying them.
