PIPE SHALL BE LAID WITH HOLES DOWN IN ALL CASES.
ALL DISPOSAL FIELDS SHALL BE GRADED TO SHED RAINFALL AND DIVERT SURFACE RUNOFF
AWAY FROM THE DISPOSAL FIELD.
DO NOT USE HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE ABSORPTION AREA AFTER PIPING HAS BEEN

THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AND APPROVED BASED UPON THE
INSTALLATION OF WATER CONSERVING FIXTURES AND A DESIGN FLOW OF 110 GPD PER
BEDROOM. THE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE EXTREME WATER USE FIXTURES,
SUCH AS JACUZZI-TYPE SPA TUBS OR WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT. THE INSTALLATION
OF NON -CONSERVING WATER FIXTURES OR EXTREME WATER USE FIXTURES IS CONTRARY TO

DEPARTMENT AND DESIGN ENGINEER PRIOR TO BACKFILL AND FINAL GRADING. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO IDENTIFY THE NECESSARY PARTIES AND REQUEST
INSPECTIONS.
