Hello friends. I'm in need of as much information as I can get on septic systems in the DR. I understand that something called a "coacla," or something similar in pronunciation/spelling, exists. Please help me understand what it is and how it works.

With Matilda's story it sounds like they installed a distribution box before the septic tank? It normally goes from the house to the septic tank and then from the tank to the distribution box and from the distribution box into the leech field. Looked like a normal distribution box in the photo. Putting a distribution box between the house and septic tank would be idiocy.
