    Does anyone know of a reliable and reasonably priced fella with a digger who can do soakage pits for septic tanks? I know that I can probably get help with a grant from the government if they come and inspect it, but that could be years away.

    You must put it into the foul tank, drown the tank and then desludge into a sewage processing system that cannot cope with the existing load. That's the system they have designed.

    Cynics will have the grey water going into the septic tank on inspection day and straight back into the grey water pit after inspection day I hear.

    I thought that the grey water was not supposed to go into the septic tank as detergents would hamper the bacterial breakdown process.

    Do you do soak away work? Have you a digger?
