Recently I was editing a System Profile feature for an upcoming issue and I was impressed once again with the ingenious design and precision installation to place a high-performance onsite system on a challenging site. We often write about septic systems cleverly wedged onto a small building lot, using the latest technology and engineering prowess to overcome poor soils, tight distances to water sources, or seesawing topography.
But as I read, a thought occurred to me: The designers project lofty performance standards for these new systems, but how do we prove the results matched their projections? We really need to return
