We are putting in an apartment in the hay loft to a barn. The septic system on the property is a 5 bedroom system, 3 chamber tank, with only a 3 bedroom house. The distance from the barn to the tank is 625 feet, and the elevation is about 15 feet higher where the tank is than where the barn is.
Since we have the capacity on the system, we ideally wanted to pump to the existing system instead of having a new septic system installed just for the barn apartment.
Is this even possible? I haven't found any guidance on pumping septic more than 100 feet, and we are looking at 625 feet.
If it is possible, would we need to install a tank to the barn, and then just run a pumped line up to the existing system for liquid waste so it can share the leach field?
Any advise is appreciated.
