Problem: A customer in St. Joseph’s County, Indiana, had a failed bootleg/illegal system at his home. The homeowner is a veteran on a fixed income and could not afford to replace the system on his own to bring his system into compliance with the county. Dig It Excavating did previous work for the veteran to help keep his system running but ultimately needed to replace the system to get it back in good working order and bring it into good standing with the county. There was limited space between the property and the neighbor’s property, so the design needed to allow for a system that could fit in the limited space and maintain proper setback distances to the neighbor’s property.
Solution: Designers were able to use a 16-by-32-foot bed configuration using Eljen A42 modules with an approved reduction in sizing in the state. The system was gravity flow to a distribution box utilizing a Septisurge inside the distribution box.
Result: Eljen — being a veteran-founded and run company — donated the Eljen A42 modules. Dig It Excavating pitched in and credited their work and labor for the homeowner and Valley Farms Supply helped by donating the other products and supplies needed to make the installation work. 800-444-1359; www.eljen.com
