Septic Permitting

So, we are now working on getting all the necessary permits to start building our home. The New Mexico Environmental Department has to approve our septic system. Our home design had too many closets for a conventional septic system, so we had to remove the doorways from the closets in the study, the den and the loft. If we kept the doors, those rooms would be counted as bedrooms and we would have to get an advanced septic system (which costs 4 times as much as a conventional system). My Dad wants me to look into a new kind of system that would use the greywater for watering the lawn and such. They are called Pugosystems. I will have to look into that.

Once we get the plans accepted by the Environmental Department we will need to get a couple of engineer approvals and we can submit for the building permit.
