Can I install a Low-Pressure Pipe (LPP) system?

Yes. Provided the site and the soil allow, St. Charles County allows all types of conventional and alternative systems (other than lagoons and wetlands) including gravel and pipe, gravelless, EPS gravelless, chamber, dosing, sand filter, peat/bio filter, mound, and subsurface drip distribution (SDD).
