Anyone in rural Southern California: home septic system question?

Question

How much should I budget to have a septic system put on my land that can handle two small-to-average-sized homes?

Answer 1

Depending on DEM code requirements you may have to have two complete systems installed. One for each house. If it's a start from scratch project you're looking at $20,000 to $30,000 per system. HOWEVER the contractor may be able to avoid some of the equipment, excavation, and set up charges if you have the work all done at the same time. I'm going to say low side $35,000 and high side $50,000.
