Swiss Alpine Road
Builder: Ensign Custom Homes
Midway, UT
This job highlights our custom built distribution box. The distribution box is the central point that directs water throughout the drainfield. We commonly find problems associated with the distribution box and good box does not exist on the open market, so we build our own. Our box is made out of 24” Ipex heavy duty PVC, sealed fiberglass bottom, 4” water tight grommets, and a locking 24” fiberglass lid. This box will not only ensure that the drainfield works properly, but also make it so that the system can be maintained and serviced for the life of the home and beyond.
Green Grove Drive
Contractor: Millhaven Homes
Sundance, UT
This system was originally permitted and installed back in 2007. It was the first alternative system permitted in Utah County. When installed, it replaced a failed holding tank. Because of shallow ground water and close proximity to the Provo River, the textile filter that was installed on this site was the first of its kind and groundbreaking technology for the state of Utah at the time. The original cabin that this system served was demolished in 2021 and a larger home was built in 2022. Most of the original components of the system were still in great shape and were incorporated into the new system to serve the larger home. The installation of the new system was challenging because of the tight working conditions, groundwater, proximity to the Provo River, and trying to preserve the old growth trees. Getting the 20,000 lb tank in and set at this location required working next to and underneath extremely large trees.
Tollgate Elk Road
Contractor: 4pnt Construction
Architect: Haven Cabins
Wanship, UT
This site had the challenges of expansive clay soil, groundwater, proximity to open water, and the logistical challenges of mobilization in Tollgate Canyon. The site features old growth trees and we stepped up to the challenge of not pulling a single one out during the process of setting heavy tanks and installing drainfield.
Eleanor Lane
Sundance, North fork of the Provo River
​This system was installed in Sundance in 2011. It had a holding tank that was in failure right next to the North fork of the Provo river. The holding tank not only presented a problem from the cabin but was contaminating the stream. We were able to get a variance for a 45-foot easement from the river to install an alternative system for this cabin. The location presented many challenges, with tight access, groundwater, limited space to work, setback from the river, and an extremely steep hillside. The water coming out of this system is crystal clear, odorless, and poses no risk to the protected body of water it sits next to. Over a decade later, the system still has it original components and continues to clean and treat the water.
Old Oak Road
Emigration Canyon
This features a custom tank with access risers over the inlet and outlet. It was designed to be maintained and installed with minimal destruction to the gambrel oak on the property.
Snowberry Ridge
Contractor: Tri City Construction
Architect: Upwall Design
Emigration Canyon, UT
We were fortunate enough to be part of the team that executed this architectural masterpiece at the top of Emigration Canyon. This system was installed in 2012. The challenges of this site include bedrock, steep slopes, very limited soil to work with. Over a decade later, it’s hard to tell where the drainfield is installed because the site and vegetation have recovered so well.
Old Ranch Road
Contractor: Superior_CustomHomes
Park City, UT
The site for this project has very dense expansive clay soils, limited space and a setback from a detention pond. All of these components required an alternative system to be implemented.
Old Bridge Road
Sundance, UT
The space for this project was among the most limited we have ever worked with. With under 500 sq ft of space for the entire septic system on this project (that sits right on the North Fork of the Provo River), this job was logistically challenging, to say the least. Groundwater, tight access, an extremely steep hillside, and lots of trees were all factors our team had to work around.
Mile 23 Road
Contractor: Davies Design Build
Sundance, UT
This site had the challenge of being right on top of the North fork of the Provo River, with steep ravines, a protected stream, and groundwater. This job was logistically challenging because of the wooden bridge with tight weight limits, extremely limited space, and old growth trees — not to mention ice and snow on the day our team set up the tanks.
Staker Parsons
Jack B. Parson Company
Heber City, UT
This system was installed in 2007. This industrial building sits down in a hole, just feet above the Heber Valley's aquifer, which has a pristine classification. Given the environmental sensitivity of the site, an alternative system was used. This system is still producing clean water.
Argento Business Park
Charleston, UT
This industrial complex has extremely tight restrictions on what it is allowed to discharge into the ground. The building sits about 60’ above the Heber Valley's protected aquifer. Because of the building's water usage and Wasatch County’s nitrogen requirements, all the wastewater from this building goes through an alternative septic system where it is cleaned and treated to an extremely high standard. The system is tested several times a year for nitrogen levels to ensure that the water coming out of this system is not impacting the aquifer below.
Promontory Gate House
Golf Club & Community
Browns Canyon, UT
Working in extremely tight conditions and limited space to squeeze in a tank between several other utilities, we only had inches of clearance on either side of our tank. This system pumps across the parking lot to a drainfield 100 feet away. As always, the installation included two access risers over the septic tank and a custom distribution box in the drainfield.
Back 40 Grill
Heber City, UT
The building's original septic system was installed in the 1940s and over time has had repairs and changes made, but was recently in need of a major update. Back 40 Grill purchased the property in 2015 and as their business thrived, they quickly outgrew their outdated septic system.
Lambs Canyon
Contractor: Paulson Construction
Salt Lake County, UT
Lambs Canyon is located in Salt Lake County’s watershed protection zone. The snow melt and runoff from this area feeds directly into the water supply for the Salt Lake Valley. This area is so protected that dogs and open-water swimming are banned. Up until 2025, all septic systems were banned as well.Through years of documenting how well alternative septic systems work, we were able to work with Salt Lake County to get alternative septic systems approved in this watershed protection zones.
Black Cliffs Equipment
Formally Known as Valley Kubota
Heber City, UT
This was the first permitted alternative septic system in the state of Utah. Permitted in in 2006 and installed in 2007, this system has been cleaning and treating waste water for nearly 2 decades. The site has limited space, sits on top of a protected water table, and is in close proximity to multiple drinking water wells. The water table is so shallow, the tanks required concrete cast around them for counter buoyancy.
Preserve Red Hawk Trail
Contractor: PJ Builders
Landscaper: Optimo Landscaping
Park City, UT
This job site came with the limitation of expansive clay. Conventional septic systems have biologically active water that tends to bind in clay and create a slimy film in the ground that will cause drainfield failure after a few years. This home has an alternative system that will clean and treat the water preventing drainfield failure for the beautiful home. Working in the Preserve community, we were able to fit this into the tight building envelope and minimize impact to the surrounding property.
Emigration Canyon
Failed Drainfield
Clients often approach Alternative Onsite Solutions when a conventional septic system fails. In this case, the entire system failed and needed to be redesigned and upgraded to meet current code.
Moose Hollow, Park City, UT
Upgrading a failing system with minimal landscape disturbance
This is one of the more technical jobs that we have done. Two 1500 gallon concrete tanks were required and had to be lifted down over 40 feet. We were able to install the drainfield in two sections in order to preserve the old growth trees and scrub oak.
Midway, UT
Estate home on the Provo River
Laying within just 1000 feet of the Provo River, the water coming out of our treatment system is so clean that it does not pollute the surrounding groundwater.
