What is the required minimum liquid tank volume for each additional bedroom after 4 bedrooms?

The required minimum liquid tank volume for each additional bedroom after the initial four is typically set at 250 gallons. This standard ensures that there is adequate capacity to handle the increased wastewater generated from the additional occupants. In a typical residential septic system, a larger volume is necessary as each bedroom typically corresponds to an additional potential occupant, increasing the generation of sewage.

Understanding the importance of this volume helps to prevent system overload, potential backups, and ensures a properly functioning septic system over time. Adhering to this specification allows for the efficient treatment of wastewater, thereby maintaining environmental safety and public health standards.
