Poor Disposal Systems Pose Hazard
Kansas state extension notes septic drain failures pose health risks. A percolation test guides disposal field size, with 300 to 400 feet of line typical, six inches of crushed rock, and a gravity fall of three to four inches per 100 feet. Install a distribution box, keep trees away, grade field, and place at least 100 feet from a well. If soil is too tight or water table high, seek health sanitarian guidance.
