Builder's Guide to Wells and Septic Systems Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am looking for a reference book to help me design a septic system and well for a new home project. I thought from the title that this book was appropriate (there was no table of contents available). It is not. Much of the book is geared towards helping general contractors avoid getting ripped off by well or septic subcontractors. If that is what you need, this is probably a reasonable choice. If you actually want to design and build your own well and septic systems, then pass on this title.
I'm still looking for a good design/reference text for septic and well systems...
