1 Benzie Leelanau District Health Department
2 Benzie Leelanau District Health Department Tri county Health Dept. Until G.T. County H.D. contract until Environmental Health regulations adopted in 1972 requiring sewage disposal and water well permits. 48 inch isolation distance to groundwater established at that time. Board of Health approval of holding tanks due to pressure to build in unsuitable locations.
3 Sanitary Code Drainfield 48 inches to water table. Tank and field 50 feet from well. Tank and field 50 from surface H2O. Bedrooms determine size of system. Garbage disposal increases tank size. Soil type and texture Permeability. Percolation Rate < 45 min. per inch. Inadequate space lot too small.
4 This sphere measuring 860 miles in diameter represents all of Earth s water.
5 Every Drop Counts
6 The Water Cycle
7 WATER FACTS
8 WATER FACTS A typical cumulus cloud measuring 1Km x 1Km weighs 1.1 million pounds! 71% of Earth is water covered! The oceans hold 96.5 % of all water! USA Uses 410 billion gallons per day! Groundwater equals 1.69% of all water! Lakes contain 0.013% of all water! A drop of water spends 8 days in the atmosphere and 3000 yrs. in the ocean!
9 There is a very small amount of the Earth s water that is drinkable (less than 1%), so we have to try very hard keep it clean!

40 Don t even think about it!
41 Spread Out Laundry Throughout the Week
42 More is NOT Better. Bleach and detergents. Easy does it or use dryer sheets.
43 Check for leaking plumbing and unnecessary connections to sewer.
44 One Drop every second equals 2054 gallons per year.
45 Chemical and Biological additives are not recommended and in some cases have been banned due to groundwater contamination. These products are expensive and in most cases experts indicate little if any value to there use.
