Installation of a Mound System in Medina, MN
We were provided with these great pictures from an equally great customer and had to share them! We recently installed this new pressurized mound septic system in Medina. Properties need new septic systems for different reasons. How do I know if I need a new septic system?

A new system was designed, per current Minnesota Pollution Control Agency codes and local ordinances.

Where does your water softener and iron filter recharge water go?
If it goes into your septic system- it is highly encouraged that you reroute your water softener and iron filter recharge water out of the system. Both can cause negative effects on the soil treatment area; potentially reducing the life of your system.

If you have any questions- please give us a call!
