Interested writer (I don't dare guess a name off that email... :)

One of the local cohousing groups here in Tucson has a very innovative way of 
handing this, which seems to replaced the leach field with a subsurface 
wetlands. I will try and see if I can pry a description out of the designer 
and repost to the list.

Subject: GBlist: Septic system

Does anyone know of a "green" septic system, if there is such a thing. I 
thought I saw on cable (Bob Vila maybe), a portable plastic drum system that 
was brought to the site by pickup truck. It looked as if it eliminated the 
standard leachfield. It was placed close, I thought, to the house site and 
seemed easy to install. I need  to get a system, as I am building without 
benefit of a sewer hookup. Thanks<<
