When you’re building a house and want to put in a new septic system, you might not think of calling an agrologist. With the increased emphasis on reducing water pollution, Tone Ag is being called in to look at the soils on building sites. When existing soil maps indicate that there is a risk of contamination from a septic field Manitoba Water Stewardship requires a soil assessment before the field is put in. A site-specific soil assessment gives the builders the information they need to build a septic field that won’t leak into groundwater or drinking water. If you’re building in an area with sandy or coarse-textured soils, give Tone Ag a call and we help you make sure your sewage water ends up where it should.

I am curious. What does sewage look like as it migrate through soils? Is it always black or dark or can it be clear also?
Thanks,
Sherri
Hi Sherri,
That’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. Much of what makes sewage sewage is particles suspended in water. As sewage passes through soils, plants, and other features particles will settle or be trapped by terrain features. Initially it’s pretty easy to tell that a liquid is sewage, but as it gets filtered and settled out you might need laboratory tests to tell that this liquid initially came from sewage.
Feel free to contact me with further questions if you want more details.
