I'm wondering if it's OK to install a point of access to a septic drainfield. I'd like a way to do maintenance on the field. This is a non-engineered system. The outlet from the tank immediately hits a tee. And the outlet is protected by a filter. If I ever have to clean or snake or de-root the drainfield it seems like it would be good to be able to access it. So instead of just burying the whole thing, I'd like to install an access "tank" with a lid at some point that would let me work on the tubes of the drainfield. What do you think?
PS: I've studied this some more. It looks like I'm describing a "D-Box." But I'm thinking of an access just to the middle of a section of drainfield line. I've seen description of multiple d-boxes. Hmmm...
