[QUOTE="7stw, post: 4221444, member: 18402"] Odds are your ground won’t perc test. I’m in noble county and there’s too much clay had to go with an aerobic system. 8750 installed used bill burns at B&c plumbing in Stillwater good guy to deal with. He was 6-10 weeks out when I did mine last summer. You’ll have to fill out a form from deq and the health dept. he emailed them to me to fill out and email back. As to the well talk to some neighbors and nrcs the wells around me are marginal at best. I spent an insane amount of money to get the rural water line extended to my property then had to spend another 10k in material to get from the meter to my house (I installed everything to my house and didn’t factor in my labor) but I have water and avg cost to drill a well was 10 grand as well. With no guarantee of success. Three attempts at a well would have cost what I paid to extend the main. Depending upon how close rural water is to you might want to consider calling your water district and getting a quote might be cheaper in the long run. FWIW my closest neighbors have two separate wells to run the house and garden/livestock and neither one drinks it or uses it for cooking so the choice was easier to get rural water. Nrcs will have some water table maps. Not trying to sound discouraging just honest road blocks we came across in trying to get our place set up. [/QUOTE]
