SEPTIC SYSTEM

The Giving House currently uses a below ground septic system for
A. Second floor
sewage treatment that needs to be replaced.

Evidently this is a County requirement that must be instituted. There B. First floor
are a few methods and systems that should be explored for this for
C. Ground floor
the most sustainable systems. “Ecoflow Biofilter” is one example.
The probable area for this is behind the Giving House. We 1. Humus compartment

recommend that the site toilets (Restrooms ‘L’ on the Site Plan) be
tied into this system as well. 2. Ventilation pipe

The site toilets could also be composting toilets and could be used
3. Water closet
by the tiny homes as well. If is the case, we recommend installing
composting toilets designed for this and elevate them so they can
be easily maintained.
