You can keep your septic system running day-after-day, year after-year. First published in 1984, Country Plumbing, in its initial edition, went through eight printings and has educated and entertained thousands of country dwellers who live beyond the reach of public sewer systems. Now, with the contribution of Mike Haupt, this revised edition contains information about some of the more recent developments in the world of private sewage treatment facilities. Even in restricted areas such as lakeside properties or small lots, you can live without a public sewer hook-up and still be a good steward of the environment.
