Thank you, Gtill and John.
I was just looking for the price of the septic system, which I understand has to be a closed tank (I've seen one go in downt he street, a huge yellow vessel). Gtill, I was wondering why you had a leach field - is this not for an open cess pit system which is no longer allowed? I understand older houses have cesspits which leach into the ground but aren't we now required to put in a closed septic system?
If you paid 7K for your system plus house pad, would it be reasonable to assume just the septic should be around 5K or less?
