Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction New Construction And Septic System

I am a MO state certified installer of onsite systems, it depends a lot on what kind of system you are looking at, they do a lot of lagoons in this area because of the heavy soils, I wouldn't put one of those on the same side as a pond because they do have a small amount of discharge, although it should dissipate before it would run 100 ft to the pond, but in a rain event some could get washed into your pond, also you wouldn't want it in the view looking at your pond, any other system shouldn't have any discharge to have any effect at all on your pond or the view of it as long as its working properly, on the same note it wouldn't have any benefit pro or con to your pond. if it was to fail I wouldn't want it failing into my pond, if for no other reason then the effluent is usually extremely high in nitrogen which will create a ton of water problems with weeds and such.
