I'd like to install a sink and a urinal in my workshop. It's too far from the septic tank and putting in a new septic system would be cost prohibitive.

The shop is maybe 40 feet from a little dry creek and I thought about running a line to the creek and calling it good. FWIW, I'm already using the creek for bathroom breaks as it is! [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

But I thought that instead of running the sewer line to the creek, how about putting in a run of porous pipe in a gravel field or something similar and keep the whole thing underground. Sort of like one leg of a septic field?

This would be for liquids only and wouldn't get much use.

Anybody done something similar?

I'm only vaguely familiar with septic systems and how the field lines are set up. Any pointers???

TIA.
