At trial, the defendants presented expert testimony as to the cause of the leakage. Rick Wilcockson, the former administrative authority on the application enforcement of the Lincoln County Sewage Ordinance, under whose direction the subject system was installed, testified as to a number of possible causes for a system failure including the aforementioned tractor tracks and manifold valve tampering. He testified that the system, as installed was serviceable absent some other causation. He also noted additional sources for the noted system failure such as chemicals in the system placed by the homeowner and clogging of the field from over saturation.
