Each such residence Shall be equipped with an t~dividual sop tic tank of not less than 750 gal- lons capacity connected to a prop- erly constructed drainfield. Each septic tank shall be watertight and shall be constructed of poured, reinforced concrel~, or of steel, or of septic tank blocks; no septic tank shall be constructed of concrete blocks or of other water absorbing material. Each septic tank shall have properly located baffle, plates. Ail corn-: mercial, industrial, multiple dwel- ling and public 'buildings shall have a sewage d~posal system in accordance wi~h,~he recommen- dations of ti~e ~Vfinnesota Depart- ment of Health Bulletin entitled .'Small Sewn, ge Systems' edition of May 1, 1958, dr according to plans submitted arid accepted by the Minnesota Department of ~ Health. Garbage disposals shall not be installed in any residence unleas such .reoidence is equipped with one or more septic tanks with a total capacity of 1,000 ga]Ions or more. b. The septic tank and drain- field shall not be. closer than (1) 50 feet to any well or suction line from a well; (2) 10 feet from any drinking water supply line under pressure; (3) 10 feet from any building foundalion; (4) 10 feet from any lot line; (5) 30 feet from any lake or stream established at the level of the Gray's Bay Dam; (6) 10 feet from any tree. With the following . excePtion: When topography and condition indicate or a hardship exists, the Building Inspector may allow: (1) The drainfield or absorp- tion bid to extend to 5 feet from, the lot line; (2) The drainfield~ to go closer than 10 feet to any tree or dense ghubbery, in which case there shall be at least 12 inches of filter material beneath the tile. c. The building sewer shall be constructed of ext!~a-he, avy cast ~ron pipe with tested water-tight. joints. The building sewer is that pa~t of the horizontal piping of :a buiiding drainage system ex- tending from a point five (5) feet outside of the inside face or the building foundations wall to the septic tank. $5,000.00 required of any licenses d. The minimum size of the under hc n building ~wer shall be · e seclasses A or B. Anv . , ., four (4) licensee may hold more than on~ mcnes.. class of license, but a separate][ e. The pitch or down grade of the sewer shall be bond shall be furnished as pro-I[ inch or vided above for each ~s of license. c. No.~n, firm or~' c~bra- tion, shall .do any P!~b~ or] sewage installati~, ~r, ~0n- =ec on hi e villas' without ha~ng~'se- cure~he appropria{e li~{~ and having posted the bond therefor r greater per foot. However, from' a point ten (10) feet preceding the entrance to the septic tank, the grade shall be {/4 inch per foot. f. A cleanout shall be provid- ed in the building sewer every fifty (50) feet, and a long turn fitting to be used at every change in horizontal direction of more than 45°. g. The cover of the septic tank shall be constructed of reinforced concrete. A cleanout. , p,pe' of 4 inch minimum diameter shall ex- tend from a point in the cover directly over the inlet to the tank to the surface of tl{e ground. Such pipe shall be' fitted with an air tight cover h. The inlet t6 the~septic tank shall be not less than ~ne ¢1) inch or more than three~ (3) inches higher than the outlet. The inlet and outlet shall be ~uipped with proper baffle plat~ i. Final disposal shall be dis- tribution box and drain field or under certain conditions absorp- tion bed. See under Secti0, n 26.64 sub. N. ' · j. Where a drainfield is used a distribution box must be in,tailed at the upper end of the field and connected to the septic tank by a watertight seW'er li~{ (1) The sewer ~ from the septic tank to thee distribution box shall have a fall of at least ,.ch per foot. (2) The distribution box shall be built of concrete and shall be not less than 18"xlS"x20" inside mmensions, and shall have a re- movable cover. The inlet shall enter the box 3 inches to 8 inchep above the outlet. (3) When installed in filled or loose earth', 'the 'tile shall be ]aid on two grade boards separated by a 2"x2" stake. The grade boards shall be l"x4" supported every ten (10) feet by the 2"x2" stakes driven to such a~ depth that each will support two hun- dred (200) pounds without pressing. (4) Drain tile shall be not less than five (5) inches in diameter and twelve (12) inches long. There shall be ¥4 inch open joints between the tile and the upper ~/~ of the joints covered with a strip of asphalt paper or its equivalent. The drainfield shall have a maximdm slope of ~/~ per cent throughout its length. (5) The maximum length of one lateral shall not exceed 100 feet. (6) Filter material shall be crushed stone, gravel, or similar insoluble, durable and acceptable material having sufficient voids. This material may vary from to 2~ inches in size and shall be free of du~t, sand or clay. The filter materials shall completely encase the tile with a minimum of 6 inches under tile (preferably t12 to 24 inches) and a minimum of 2 inches over tile. In any case, disposal t r e n c h e s constructed within 10 feet of large .trees or dense shrubbery shall have at least 12 inches of filter materials beneath the tile' (according to Minnesota Depa~rtment of Health 1959 Bulletin). k. The length of the drainfield necessary for each r e s i d e n c e shall be determined by the fol- lowing percolation test: ,~ "A" Method of making perco- lation test: A hole one (1) foot square shall be excavated to the depth of the proposed trenches. The hole shall be filled with water to a depth of at least 6 inches and allowed to seep away. The time in min- utes required for the water to seep away completely divided by the total number of inches of water placed in the hole, gives the average time of the water to drop one (1) inch. See Table "B' to determine absorption area required for each individual sys- tem. "B" Data for determining field requirements f r o m percolation tests: Key to table: A--Average tim~ in minutes for water to fall one inch; B~2~Iinimum r e q u i r e d area, square feet; C--Minimum r e q u i r e d area square feet per absorption Note bed.

In cations where-the slope of the ground oYer the absorption field area is relatively flat (6 inches fall or le~s in any direction within field area) the trenches shall be connected to produce a contim uous system and the trench bot- toms shall have a fall of % to ¥2 of one percent away from the distribution pipe. m. Field in Sloping Ground. In locations where the ground over the absorption field area slopes (fall greater than 6 inches in any direction within the field area) a s y s t e m of s e r i a 1 distribution trenches following the contours of the land may be used. The trenches will be in~t~lled at dif- ferent elevations l~t~ the bottom of each individual trench shall have a fall of 1~ to 1/2 of one per cent away from the distribution pipe. n. Absorption' Beds U~e. Use of an absorption bed with a sep- tic tank is acceptable only when necessary area is not adequate for drainfield. That portion of an absorption trench below the top of the distribution pipe shall be in natural or acceptably stabilized earth. Section 3. The Mound Code of Ordinances is amended by delet- ir_g from the title of Chapter 15 the words "Sewerage and". Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and pub- lication. Ray Koehn, Mayer.
