THIS WAS AN NDDS SYSTEM INSTALLED IN PEYTON, COLORADO FOR THE POPULAR CUSTOM HOME BUILDER: COPPERLEAF HOMES. THE SYSTEM WAS A NDDS FED BY A 500 GALLON INFILTRATOR PUMP TANK AND 1500 GALLON TREATMENT TANK. THE MAJOR ISSUE ON THIS PROJECT WAS HIGH GROUND WATER, THAT WE STRUCK ON DAY 1, RIGHT AT THE FOOTER. WE HAULED IN SOME 1.5″ RIVER ROCK TO STABILIZE THE GROUND WATER.

Here’s a shot of the tanks. What you don’t see is the slope of the hill. This mis-planning causes the tanks to be deep, and closer to the house then the customers wanted. Water only flows downhill.Here is a shot of the bedded mainline. Hard to see but the grade is going uphill, while our grade must go downhill, at at least 2.0% pitch.Here is the 2nd compartment of the treatment tank. This has an installed effluent filter. These should be cleaned, or replaced, every year.We love the SJE Rhombus. It features audible and visual alarm, breakers for the pump and alarm, HOA (hand) switch to manually pump the tank, a pump and event counter. It was made special by SJE for the State of Colorado.Bedded NDDS field. Ready for Engineer and County inspection.Effluent line to the field… bedded and ready for inspection.
