 It is simply in compliance with the proper

construction of a house or a building following

the requirements set by law or the National
Building Code. Of course you want to make
sure all the proper technical, mechanical,
electrical, and structural plans for the
construction of the building are met.
 In addition, if you build a house or a building
without a permit from your municipality,
construction will be stopped until a permit has
been issued or released. You’ll receive a strict
notice to apply for a permit.

 A septic system is a type of OWTS, consisting of a
septic tank that collects all the sewage. The sewage
separates into a solid (sludge) that settles to the
bottom, and a liquid effluent that then flows into a
leach field for final treatment by the soil.
 Sewerage system, network of pipes, pumps, and force
mains for the collection of wastewater, or sewage, from
a community. Modern sewerage systems fall under
two categories: domestic and industrial sewers and
storm sewers. Sometimes a combined system provides
only one network of pipes, mains, and outfall sewers
for all types of sewage and runoff. The preferred
system, however, provides one network of sewers for
domestic and industrial waste, which is generally
treated before discharge, and a separate network for
storm runoff, which may be diverted to temporary
detention basins or piped directly to a point of disposal
in a stream or river.
 A buried, watertight tank designated and
constructed to receive and partially treat raw
domestic sanitary wastewater. Heavy solids
settle to the bottom of the tank while greases
and lighter solids float to the top. The solids
stay in the tank while the wastewater is
discharged to the drainfield for further
treatment and dispersal.
 The three chamber septic tank will measure 3.1
meters (10 feet) by 1.9 meters (6 feet) and will
be 2.1 meters deep (almost 7 feet). The tank will
have a concrete slab on the bottom, filled, steel
reinforced hollow block walls and a
concrete top with clean-out ports. It will be
parged with cement fortified with “Sahara”
waterproofing additive.
 Fill the bottom of the pit with at least 6 inches
of sand or gravel. This will stabilize the base
beneath the septic tank to reduce the possibility
of shifting or cracking.
 Form and pour the floor of the tank first,
inserting steel reinforcement to meet or exceed
your local codes. During the floor pour, install
the vertical steel rebar that will reinforce the
tank walls. By inserting the bars into the wet
concrete floor, you provide a strong structural
connection between the walls and the floor.
