3. is this setup ideal or would it be better on a slope where the house is higher elevation, then the septic tank, then the leachfield?
4. someone mentioned electricity loss being a prb, what did they mean since I don't see any moving parts?
Totally new question: what happens in cases where there is no city water access? I guess one needs to install a
well? How does that work and what are the concerns? I would imagine the biggest ones being limited supply and if the quality if good enough?
