System Failures and Repairs Components and Solutions • The most expensive components to replace are also the most durable; these would mostly not be expected to be replaced. • None of the system components are proprietary or hard to obtain • What happens when something fails?That depends: o Is the failure known by the property owner? o Is the problem discovered early or late? o Is it a matter of normal maintenance/repair, or something more serious? o Is correction optional, or mandatory? o Is the owner motivated to fix it? o Are funds available to fix it? • What happens when a dispersal field fails? o Sometimes a dispersal field benefits from resting/taking time off, for biological and chemical reasons. It is a good practice to have multiple zones to alternate between active use and rest. So if a dispersal field fails and the repair field is used, and then the repair field is used, it is possible to use the original dispersal field again. o If solids get into the lines, that failure cannot be recovered. • If something in a community system goes wrong, who bears liability and responsibility?
