You are asking questions that I don't have answers for. We are not the first owners. What I do know is that the system is almost 30 years old. At one time I had a pencil sketch that I got a copy of from the county. As I remember it there was a 75' distribution line with 2 75' laterals. I believe plastic. The county has now lost our records so I can not get a new copy. I am going through old records to find what I can.

There are only two of us using the system regularly.

I do know that there are 2 cylindrical tanks of maybe 250-300 gallons each. I plan on measuring them next week when I will have someone to do a little digging.
