Septic Tanks and Leach Fields are common in northern states, depends on size of the house, how many bedroom / bath room, each state may have different requirement.

and it also depends on soil sample, your county health inspector need to come out and test the soil, and let you know what type of septic system you allow to install, then they will issue a permit for the work.

a typical gravity fed system on a 3 bedroom /2 bath house needs a 1000 gallon tank and 300 feet of leach fields, cost $3200 to $4000, plus time to dig out the old one.

if the soil test out bad, then you need a mounted system, it will cost $6000 to $8000.
