Previously the State of Maine's acceptance conditions for Enviro-Septic^® wastewater treatment systems required that the separation distance to the seasonal groundwater table or other limiting factor be measured from the bottom of the sand in the system. Newly modified acceptance conditions allow this measurement to be taken from the bottom of the Enviro-Septic^® pipe. This new separation measurement allows Enviro-Septic^® systems to be installed 6" closer to the seasonal groundwater table or other limiting factor.

This acceptance modification was granted because of data received from extensive third-party tests conducted in Canada and at the University of New Hampshire and presented to the Maine Bureau of Health. These tests compared the Enviro-Septic^® wastewater treatment system with conventional pipe and stone installations and determined beyond question that the Enviro-Septic^® system is by far more effective, efficient, and environmentally safe.

This acceptance modification means a great deal to homeowners or commercial businesses. Here are just a few of the new advantages.

1. More in-ground installations will be feasible. In-ground installations eliminate the need for costly and unsightly mounded systems.



2. A system previously requiring a costly pump may no longer need one. Installing a system 6" lower could accommodate a gravity system.



3. Designs previously requiring elevated building foundations to allow for gravity fed systems could eliminate or reduce this requirement. Handling of large amounts of costly fill would be eliminated and greater site flexibility realized.



4. System locations will be more site flexible. A mere 6" adjustment could allow a home or building to be more conveniently situated on a site.



5. Multi-Level^TM Enviro-Septic^® systems will also get a 6" advantage.

In general, saving money and providing enhanced installation flexibility are two major factors affected by this modification. Add to that the superior environmental protection offered by Enviro-Septic^® and you have the key to our continuing growth and acceptance throughout North America.
