Have you ever had installed a reed bed to filter waste as either a primary or secondary method (i.e. in addition to a septic tank)? How much did it cost? How long did it take to get established? Did you need a lot of space?

No, but I know someone who did. They're commonly known in the trade as 'wetlands' and consist of a series of three ponds, all draining into one another, containing different plants in each one which perform the same function as a sewage treatment. They had a large garden, but the chap did it himself (being trained in it).

Counting the land, the installation, the helps, the state enable, the attorney, and the engineer, my wager would be $100k, in case you probably did no longer run into an hassle with the government or extra probable your acquaintances. additionally, the fee of the enable could be $10k in keeping with 12 months. you're truthfully asking to construct a wastewater therapy facility. you will have the comparable standards as a small community equipment. The reference provides you with some hyperlinks to sites that would have extra appropriate information.

No I haven't, but it is something I would totally do if I had the right conditions. I watched a programme on the TV once about it - I think it was "Selling Houses Abroad" maybe - and they set one up to filter the waste from a Sceptic Tank. Is there nothing on t'internet about it...............
