What changes in Hastings
The old systems on Hastings farm lots were laid before the setbacks from ditches and canals applied, and a replacement is held to today's distances. That often moves the field, sometimes to the only corner of the lot that qualifies, and the site evaluation says whether a conventional field works on ground that farm drainage keeps wet or whether the design has to change.
The tank is set against flotation on ground with a high seasonal table, and the county health department permits and inspects it.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.

Septic Tank Replacement questions from Hastings
Why does the new field have to move?
Because the setback from the ditch applies now and did not when the old one was laid.
Can a conventional field work on farm ground?
Often, on the right corner of the lot. The evaluation decides.
