Former and active cranberry bog land brings organic soils and a high water table, both of which rule out conventional design on some lots that look perfectly buildable.
Systems installed on filled or marginal ground that pass initially and then decline quickly.
Towns are allowed to adopt their own septic regulations that are stricter than the state code, and many do. That is why the answer to a septic question in one town is not automatically the answer in the town next to it.
