Septic / Well for Island Property

LakeTimes · 03-08-2017, 05:01 PM

Been searching and searching on here in all the different discussions and can't seem to find any answers. I'm sure it's been asked, and I don't mean to duplicate my question if it has been, but really curious to know.

What are the ballpark figured on putting in 1- Well and 2- Septic on an island property that's only accessible by boat?

What have others done as I'm guessing there are quite a few people on here who might have already been through this process, which I'm guessing could be long, semi-painful and expensive (but boy do I hope I'm wrong!

)

With Septic, is it common to put in some sort of leachfield, or no because you are too close to the water, therefore some sort of holding tank is best that gets pumped regularly. If tank is there a service or company that does this? Is it very expensive and almost not worth it?

Curious to hear people experiences and suggestions. Thanks!
