About This Book

A practical guide to sanitary disposal of household and farm wastes, explaining the nature and hazards of sewage and outlining septic-tank systems including house sewer design, tank construction and operation, effluent handling, distribution fields, and alternative disposal methods such as cesspools, privies, and chemical closets. It also covers grease traps, garbage and trash handling, care and maintenance, troubleshooting, and special considerations for tight or wet soils and protection against freezing. The bulletin stresses soil and groundwater safety, describes bacterial action in treatment and absorption, and advises consulting local sanitary authorities and following regulations when site conditions or legal requirements restrict standard practice.
