If you are referring to the test done to see if a septic system can be installed - the Health Department will do a 'percolation" test on your property to detemine its ability to absorb water. The formulas vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and even change according to the types of soil being tested. The test involves taking a measured amount of water and pouring it into a hole dug in the soil being tested. If the water is completely absorbed into the ground within a specified time period, then a septic system permit will be issued.
