We are also installing 4 water tanks ILO the normal 2.

Re: Sewerage system on acreage 8Jun 22, 2010 9:23 pm We were quoted nearly $14k for the biolytix system....do your research and see what you are allowed to have and then what you can get it for in your area....

Re: Sewerage system on acreage 10Jun 22, 2010 9:38 pm Our builder doesn't add on any extra to the tanks etc which we have organised directly with him...but the septic quote was done through the company he is a part of (National Builders Group) so there was probably some markup...I just checked and the actual contract price was $9,500 ($1000 markup on the builder's verbal quote but it included the permits etc) plus $1400 for the live storm water (that will depend on where you are situated..)
