Country Plumbing: Living with a Septic System
You can keep your septic system running day-after-day, year after-year. First published in 1984, Country Plumbing, in its initial edition, went through eight printings and has educated and entertained thousands of country dwellers who live beyond the reach of public sewer systems. Now, with the contribution of Mike Haupt, this revised edition contains information about some of the more recent developments in the world of private sewage treatment facilities. Even in restricted areas such as lakeside properties or small lots, you can live without a public sewer hook-up and still be a good steward of the environment.

What People are Saying About This

Martin L. Johnson

"This is a dynamite book. It should be owned and studied by every person who lives in the country. It is a practical and step-by-step guide through one of life's great crises, what to do when the drains don't work. It also describes how maintenance can prevent such a crisis. This book, written for the intelligent lay person living in the country, strips away the shrouds of mystery, superstition and misinformation that have obscured one of life's great realities: what happens to the water we live by once we are through with it."--(Martin L. Johnson, Ph.D., P.E., former Commissioner of Vermont Water Resources)\
