Enviro-Septic
System
Capacity
The capacity of the Enviro-Septic System depends on two elements :
•
The number of Advanced Enviro-Septic Pipes
•
The capacity of the underlying soil to evacuate the treated water.
.
Tables 1 and 2 present the capacity of each system in relation with the
number of pipes installed for a 1 to 6 bedroom residence or other building
with a daily flow of 3240 L/d or less. The total volume of wastewater fed to
the system must not be more than what is shown in the table.
The system may also be limited by the capacity of the underlying soil to
permit the infiltration and evacuation of wastewater. This value should be
evaluated by the designer mandated to create the plans and estimates for your
septic installation. It is, therefore, important to verify with the designer if the
capacity of the soil permits complete infiltration and evacuation of the
maximum amount of water able to be treated by the pipes installed.

The hydraulic capacities shown in table 1 are the same shown in the Q-2, r.22 regulation for 1 to 6 bedroom isolated
dwellings (clause 1.3). The difference between the minimum number of Advanced Enviro-Septic pipe for a similar daily flow
between table 1 and 2 come after different security factors that are associated with 1 to 6 bedroom house vs other types of
buildings.
