We are finally having plans drawn up for the new house to be built on our property where my pond is at. The house will be built on top of the hill, above the pond. I don't know if I'll have a choice, but if I do, what would you do? Would you place your septic system on the side of the hill the pond is on so some of the water might work it's way down to the pond and help keep it full, or would you put it on the other side of the hill to try and keep the water from it away from the pond. It would probably be about 100' from the pond if I put it on the same side as the pond.
I plan to tell them to direct as much as they can (as long as it don't cost to much ) of any ground run off, roof drains and such towards the pond.
Thanks for any input.

I would err on the side of caution. While the impact should be limited, I would prefer that no water could go to the fish to live in that I wouldn’t drink.

Pressure drip onsite waste systems, I put them in everyday, been working on one today actually. got one in my front yard, not enough water to the surface to keep my grass green in these hot days.

It will be on the opposite, for sure. Thanks for all the help guys.
