Do
I have a distribution box (d-box)?
Maybe...
Most septic systems that have a d-box have:
Multiple drainfields
OR
They are large systems (1200 or 1500 gallon tanks)
OR
They had an additional
drainfield added because the first one died
OR
The house needed an
additional drainfield because the home was enlarged (got
bedrooms added)
You can easily figure out if you have a distribution box by calling the county environmental health office and pulling your permit.
In some counties they will email it to you.
About permits: If your septic was installed before 1990 there might be a permit.
But,
if your septic was installed before 1970, fuhgettaboutit!
