The main activity of this week at 3086 Merlin Rd has been the excavating of the septic field, and installation of the tanks. The system has now all been tested (with I believe 800 gallons of water) and inspected, at each critical stage, by the Chester County Health Dept. The seal of approval was granted on Nov 3rd. The septic system will now be buried, leaving just inspection covers allowing access to the pump and for emptying the system when required. This area will be back filled tomorrow with top soil, and afterwards sown with grass seed. Before long the only evidence of what lies beneath the "front lawn" will be these photos (& several others I took!).
Here are a series of photos of the process..just to confuse you they are posted in reverse order..so if you want to follow the "story" (I cannot imagine anyone other than Ian & I will have the slightest bit of interest in our sewage system!!?) start at the last photo and work upwards!!
