You never get an answer to the question!



Googling for what happens to the poop:

Again, it's amazing that you never get the answer straight.
Most of the answers are from companies selling septic system cleaning, so,
I guess that's why you can't get a straight answer out of the web?


There is no one answer for everyone. Take the simple parts like a four
person family that does the same laundry, same diet and excrement etc.
but put them a few miles apart.

Variables start with the results of the perc test. How big a system?
What is the soil composition? Water table, trees, and a bunch of other
things that affect the overall life of the system. Best to have it
checked once in a while.
