Description

This circular has been prepared to aid and assist residents of South Dakota rural areas in providing sanitary and safe disposal for sewage and wastewater from homes. The septic-tank system may provide sewage treatment and disposal for small groups of homes or for may types of establishments where larger quantities of sewage are involved than are discharged from an individual home. Lack of competent sanitary engineering advice in the development of such systems generally will lead to failures, excessive costs and a multitude of troubles. This circular cannot present all of the results of experience gained in the design and operation of septic tank systems.The soundest advice available to anyone contemplating such a system is to obtain competent sanitary engineering consultation from an engineer licensed to practice in South Dakota.
