June 14, 2012 - Beautiful day for work on the house and today the plumber was still out there when I stopped by.  I asked him about the black 1/2 'tubes' in the septic field and he explained the system to me.  The effluent transfers from the tanks to all three 'fields' and gravity takes care of the rest.  He explained the system is about 30% more efficient than the old style of septic system.  He told me he has had one for over 8 years and with his family of four it works fine.

Also today the water meter was installed and their plan is to hook up the water tomorrow as soon as the inspector gives the clearance.

The electrical is all done and as soon as the inspector gives us the go-ahead we will get Blue Grass Energy to install the meter.

Where the guy is standing is the distribution box for the field.
