In the event a property fails a percolation test, there are
several alternate systems that the property owner may consider
for residential use. These include:
-
Drip
Irrigation System
-

Individual
Spray Irrigation System

Maintenance
Agreements
All of the above systems require a maintenance
agreement. A Drip Irrigation System will need to have a
maintenance agreement with the manufacturer. The other
three will need to have a maintenance agreement with your
municipality.
Note:
Drafts of the various maintenance agreements are available at
the WCSC office.
