Lagoon Systems

Soutwick Sewer and Drain

A lagoon is also known as a waste stabilization pond.  The function of a lagoon is to act as a pond into which raw sewage (household waste) is discharged. 

If the soil on your lot does not percolate, then a lagoon system will be required. 

Sewage lagoons do not need to be pumped like a septic system, however the home owner is still responsible for maintenance
