Abstract

Waste water from a residence flows to an on-site waste water treatment facility, such as a septic tank. The leachate passing from the septic tank flows to a chlorine-contact chamber for treating the waste water from the septic tank with chlorine. The treated waste water flows from the contact chamber to a drainage field located below ground level. Percolating sand and a natural filter media filter the treated waste water which is distributed by the drainage field. A perforated water recovery pipe is located below the filter media to collect the treated and filtered water. A suction pump pumps water collected in the recovery pipe to above ground level. A sprinkler connected to the suction pump distributes water pumped from the recovery pipe for irrigating the ground surface.
