Septic System

The septic system has been installed!  With 5 acre lots, everyone in Castle Valley uses a septic tank with leach fields to control sewage.  I'm not sure I love the idea of dealing with our own sewage onsite, but this is the way it is done.  From what I have read, we also have a bit of a learning curve on how to keep the septic system happy.  No vegetables, no powdered dishwasher soap, etc.  The only evidence of the system is the disturbed surface area for installing the tank and trenches, and two very small stop-and-waste caps.  Hopefully, it will function as designed -- out of sight -- out of mind.
