What environmental issues are most important regarding septic systems?
JSA: As population increases in any area, the concern of where, how much, and of what quality septic effluent of these homes has on the environment increases. The simple fact is that all of the septic waste water winds up in the environment. If we are lucky, it is safe and stays where we want it. As it either evaporates or seeps into the earth, we expect it to do no harm to the land, waters of the land and the people who live near.
