Martha Head, 2090 Shoreline Drive <br /> June 29, 1987 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> 4. Your third alternative is to install a sealed holding tank, which <br /> would need to be pumped out on a regular basis. You have noted that <br /> you are limited to a small number of pumpout firms who have trucks <br /> that can fit under the railroad bridge. Also note that the costs of a <br /> holding tank are typically $75-100 per pumpout (1,500 gallons +/-). A <br /> typical household of 4 people doing laundry, showers, dishes, and <br /> f lushing toilets may be as much as 300 gallons per day. Your usage <br /> given the seasonal nature of the structure may be quite a bit less. <br /> Estimated Costs (installed) : <br /> - Small trench drainfield, sealed 2-compartment septic tank with pump <br /> and high water alarm - $2,000-4,000 <br /> - Complete mound system with tanks/pump/alarm - $6,000-10,000 <br /> - Holding tank, 1,500 gallon - $1,000-2,000 (plus on-going pumpout <br /> cost) <br /> I would conclude by noting that if you intend to ever convert the main <br /> residential structure to year round usage, you would need to provide a <br /> full-fledged septic system anyway. My recommendation is that if the soils <br /> and water table are found to be suitable, you would be best served in the <br /> long term by installing a mound system. <br /> Please contact me if I can be of further assistance. We have listings <br /> of known soil testing firms and system installation contractors if you need <br /> that information. <br /> Sincerely, , <br /> F <br /> Michael P.
