Elevated Sand Mound Sewage Treatment System
Minnesota has a large number of Mound Systems being used every day. Anoka County MN is no exception to this rule. These types of Advanced – Residential On-site Sewage Disposal Systems can sometimes be identified by the Elevated Sand Mound Constructed on the property. They are commonly used for properties with Poor Soil Conditions. Basically, this means that either the Site or Soil will not lend itself to a more Conventional Gravity Type Septic System. A licensed, CSI Custom Septic, Inc. Septic System Designer can help to determine if a Alternative Mound System is right for your home.
Mound System Description
Pretreatment of sewage begins inside of the Septic Tank. What happens after that is determined by the type of Sewage Disposal System that you are using. With a Mound System, the waste water is pumped into a hill that is raised up enough to allow for adequate filtering before reaching the water table below. The liquid is treated further when it is absorbed through the Gravel, Sand Fill and Natural Subsoil.

Licensed Septic System Designers like Brad at CSI Custom Septic, Inc. have had extensive training on How, Why and Where to build each individual sewage disposal system. Factors that we take into account when designing a Customized Sewer System include the following:
