In a city where space is at a premium?

Which space efficient septic tank do you have in mind?

When I lived near Seattle as a kid, our single wide didn’t have sewer, just septic. It’s more common than you think.

I didn't say septics are uncommon. To ask you differently:

- How large was that plot (on which the septic system was installed)

- Was the septic system dedicated to your house or shared

- How large was that septic system

It was a large plot of land not zoned for SFH residential because it was in a bit of a weird spot (septic tanks weren’t shared, there was enough land out back that it had enough to drain).
