In an on-site system, effluent is spread over a disposal field. This serves two purposes: soakage and treatment. Soakage allows the liquid from the wastewater to enter the ground, while bacteria in the soil provide final treatment, making the effluent safe before it reaches groundwater. Effluent is usually delivered via a subsurface dripline, though in some cases a trench system can be designed to suit the site’s soil characteristics.
