How far can the effluent from a septic tank be pumped to get to the drain field?
I am in the process of getting a septic drain field approved. It will probably have to be on the other side of a creek from the house and tank. The easiest place to put the pipe to the drain field is a long path and has some elevation rise. It could be a run of up to 1,500-2,000 feet. It's a long story. An alternate septic system won't solve the need for pumping.
Practically speaking how far can the effluent be pumped? Will I need to use multiple pumps/tanks along the way?
