US Patent:

Filed:
Jan 25, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/186124
Inventors:

International Classification:

Abstract:
A septic system has an above-ground septic tank which is installed in the house for which it is to be used, or within an enclosure attached to the house. The septic system further includes a secondary containment sump which surrounds the septic tank, and an in-ground leaching field. The septic tank has a removable cover, an inlet for receiving waste material, and an outlet for discharging liquid effluent to the leaching field which is built into the ground around the house. The secondary containment sump is operative for containing leakage or spillage of the septic tank contents in the event the septic tank leaks. In this connection, the septic system further comprises an alarm which signals the presence of fluid in the containment sump. The septic system still further includes an electric heater and thermostatic switch for preventing the septic tank from freezing. The instant septic system is particularly effective for use in waterfront areas where in-ground septic tanks are not permitted.
