Per stirpes. Per stirpes (/pÉËr ËstÉËrpiËz/; by branch) is a legal term in Latin. An estate of a decedent is distributed per stirpes if each branch of the family is to receive an equal share of an estate. When the heir in the first generation of a branch predeceased the decedent, the share that would have been given to the heir would be distributed among the heir's issue in equal shares.
There are two main parts to the basic septic system: the septic tank and the drainfield. The Septic Tank. Household wastewater first flows into the septic tank where it should stay for at least a day.In the tank, heavy solids in the wastewater settle to the bottom forming a layer of sludge, while grease and light solids float to the top forming a layer of scum.he separated wastewater in the middle layer of the tank is pushed out into the drainfield as more wastewater enters the septic tank from the house. If too much water is flushed into the septic tank in a short period of time, the wastewater flows out of the tank before it has had time to separate.
A typical septic tank has a 4-inch inlet located at the top. The pipe that connects to it must maintain a 1/4-inch-per-foot slope toward it from the house. This means that for every 10 feet of distance between the tank and the house, the inlet must be 2 1/2 inches below the point at which the pipe exits the house. The pipe typically exits at ground level, but sometimes it has to pass under a foundation footing or concrete pad.
