 OK on wells, but weak on septic systems. Dec 27, 1998
Much of the same comments I made about the "Builder's Guide to Wells and Septic Systems" apply to this book. Although oriented more towards a home owner-builder rather than a professional home builder, it still lacks detail on septic systems. There is no discussion of sand mounds, which account for about 90% of all installations in my region of PA, or other alternative system types. About 1/3 of the book relates to septic systems and the balance to well and water systems.If you are interested mainly in wells, this is probably not a bad choice. If your desire is to design your own septic system, then I think this book is lacking. Matt

Wells and Septic Systems Dec 20, 2006
By Bud
This book has given me an introduction to the information needed to replace my septic field with regard to the length and depth of the field trenches and components needed. The book reviews the basics on perculation testing and various calculations for determining the trench dimensions as well as the amount and type of stone and dirt backfill needed. You then need to compare this data to your local code(Pa. Chapter 73 in my case). All States are a little different on their exact requirements for the work.

Way too technical May 04, 2009
By J. Zimmerman
The book is more like a textbook for engineering than a homeowner guide; keep on looking...

 Excellent book May 03, 2010
By Aulbert B. West Jr.
I got the edition revised by some guy named Blackwell. I bought this book after reading it at the library. It arrived, but did not stay [due to my use and abuse], in excellent condition.
The information is excellent and detailed. But I wish there was more. For example there is a comment about what I think is cisterns, but no detailed instructions on how to build one. A value tool to anyone who needs or wants DIY water and septic, could literally save you thousands of dollars, even if you don't Do it yourself.

A textbook on wells and septic systems Oct 15, 1998
Book reads like a textbook. However, very detailed information provides good fundamental knowledge of the topic.
