The Septic System.

The home's most unique feature is a specialized septic system. An alternative septic system was installed as opposed to a traditional septic system. The system installed was a Clearstream Wastewater system. None of the water used in the house goes to waste! It is sprayed out through sprinklers on 3 different spray fields totaling 4200 square feet. The sprinklers go on at a set time after dark every night. It is great for grass and for trees. The owner has also installed a second sprinkler system in the fields to aid in watering all areas of the fields. These sprinklers are also set on a timer. The Clearstream system used for this house was approved through the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. While some maintenance is required, The new owner has the option of doing this maintenance themselves or hiring out the responsibility. There is a gentleman just 30 minutes away in Sierra Vista who specializes in these types of systems and is very familiar with this particular system. The current owners opted to do the maintenance themselves however they did have the system checked about every 18 months to ensure the system was running properly. Below is a link to the Clearstream website.
