Cochise County has adopted some rather stringent new requirements for septic systems, based
upon a soil analysis instead of the old perculation tests. Even though there will only be three
full-time residents of our home, we have enough bathrooms and fixtures to require a pretty
extensive drain field for the septic tank per the new criteria. You're looking at three runs of
vented plastic shroud three feet across (a half cylinder configuration) ... each run being 95 feet
long, for a total of 285 feet. I'm going to have to drink a lot more beer to ever make use of it all.
