septic systems

Steve S, Howdy;

When the State of Ohio changed the State Code for septic systems,
the guide lines for the Counties to use, the cost for an avg. system
went from $5,000.00 or $6,000.00 to over $16,000.00. That was back
in, I think, 2006.

When we built in 2009, I installed a septic system for a 2400 SqFt 4 bedroom 2 bath house in Michigan. The total cost for the 1500 gallon tank, field lines, gravel, underlayment and overlayment material, labor and permits/inspections was $3800. A nearby neighbor just installed a similar system about 5 miles from me and his cost was $4500. So it appears it definitely depends a lot of where you're located.

If I could get it done at those prices it would be done in a heartbeat

My mother in Michigans thumb are was quoted nearly $14,000 a few years ago and when we went for a permit 24 hours later the condemmed her old one. I cleaned the bees out of the vent pipe everything worked fine and I threw the paperwork away. They couldn't condemn it because I didn't pay for the permit. They inspected it a month later and they failed it without a reason but never heard from them again

Probably I was over there last weekend and everything was working just fine. My cabin is by Mio and it has 2 plastic barrels with about 200 22 holes in it and has worked for 20 or so years

I did the same thing with barrels at my cabin, it's been working great for years with no issues.
Not to sure how well it would go over in this area as there's just 2 acre lots here!
