This is an NDDS system in Elkorn Ranch, in Parker, CO. The home is a walkout 3 bedroom and therefor a small 1,000 gallon poly septic tank, a 500 gallon poly pump tank (both made by Infiltrators), which pumped to 4 valves serving a 4000 square foot field. We have to stair step the field 3 times as the min depth was 12″ and the max was 30″ to acheive proper percolation and evaporation.

We began, as we normally do, by trying to find the stubbed plumbers pipe. Some plummbers do a fantastic job of labeling and others do not. Fortunately, the homeowner/GC was with us to help locate it. Notice the depth of this by the height of the cleanout!

We then excavated for the 1000 gallon poly tank followed by the 500 gallon pump tank. Notice the risers must come to grade (or above). We also installed the floats and alarm.

We then treched 20, 8″ wide, 100′ long lines. Min Depth 12″ and Max depth 30″. We had to have 4 separate stairs to acheive flatness.

The system was connected to the valves. (covered with boxes)

Here is another view. It’s hard to see but there are 4 steps.

We passed inspection from Elbert County and Colorado Geoscience, and we covered and off to the next. Another successful OWTS instalation from:

This job came to us from a referral from a prior client. The owners are building a massive 5 bed home. We added a 500 gallon pump tank because the grade of the lot was 2% uphill and the owner wanted the tank installed a good distance from the home.

We began be excavating for a 1500 gallon poly tank. Due to the depth of the mainline from the home, and the slope of the lot, we quickly knew a pump tank was needed. This challenge was previously discussed with the client; and yes, it ended up being required.

We then ran the pump line up the hill to the distribution box; with flowed into 4 80′ long 3′ wide trenches, that housed 20 Infiltrator Chambers, each.

Here is another angle of the Distribution box. After passing inspection, we were able to backfill.

Onto our next challenge. Another successful system installed by:

Here is a Engineered pump system which was an addition to a ‘mother-in-law’ suite on top the 2nd story of a detached garge. The Engineer called for a 1000 gallon tank and a 500 gallon pump tank. We used a .5hp Liberty Pump with Colorado panel for dosing metrics and alarm.

We began with running the septic line out of the garage and 2 45 degree turns, under the driveway, and 2 more 45 degree turns to the tanks.

Here are the tanks behind the garage (after a nasty rainstorm!!)

This job has tight space. The engineer and owner wanted the field next to the fence, but due to a water line easement, we had to stay 25′ away. Had to find another spot.

So, we found another location, but due to lot-size limits, we had to cut our pipe in 1/2 and double the amount of trenches. All for 1 water line easement. uggg.
