Board flags septic design with long run; recommends adding clean-out

Jan 7, 2026

During review of submitted septic designs, the Chair flagged one plan with a long run from the tank to the leach/leaf field (about 50 feet) and recommended adding a clean-out to allow maintenance if bypass occurs.

The full story

Chair reviewed proposed septic designs and identified one system with a notably long run from the tank to the leaf field. She described the run as "50 somewhat feet long" and recommended a clean-out be installed so any bypass could be caught and cleared, noting a clean-out would be inexpensive ("only, like, $25, $30").
