About 3 years ago, I bought a 10 acre piece of farm land near my parents farm. Planning to build a house on it in about 3-4 years. County Department has decided to change the septic system rules and will require almost all new homes to have a mound type system for septic waste beginning next year. Right now, I am told that I could get away with a typical leach bed system for about 1/2 the cost of the mound or evaporation type system.
All the contractors are saying this is a bunch of crap because even if a piece of land has an adequate outlet and good soil drainage, they will still be making you install a mound system next year - where this year, it would be a leach system.
I am wondering about getting the permits and installing a leach bed system this year BEFORE the house is built. I'd have to show blueprints of the house, and then could install it and maybe say I ran out of cash to build the house???
If I do this, will the system go bad in 3-4 years without use? Do you see anything wrong with doing this?
THanks!
