Built for local ground conditions
Knox County is mostly clay over limestone, and clay takes water slowly. A three-bedroom house needs about 2,250 sq ft of drain field on clay, against 375 sq ft on sand. That puts a new conventional system at typically $16,000 to $22,000, before we have seen your lot.
