Some new I/A septic systems are far outperforming county minimum standards set when the systems were first approved, but other models are not meeting expectations.

Some of the new I/A septic systems, like this one being installed in Amagansett, are proving to outperform the minimum standards of nitrogen reduction set by the county. But other systems have not met the expectations and their manufacturers are being forced to make retrofits to installed units to improve their performance.
