> So what you really had was a leach field with no septic tank...

No. The soil around here is red clay that is so hard you need a jackhammer 
to dig into it.  A 7-inch void in the red clay was a perfectly fine 
wastewater pipe. It would have held pressure to 15 or 20PSI. The problem was 
that when I installed a sprinkler system in 1982, the water attracted the 
attention of the neighbor's redwood tree, and its roots eventually 
penetrated the hard clay and blocked the "sewer line".
