         9 . The assembly of  claim 1  wherein said holes in said plurality of receiver pipes are disposed in a configuration to optimize effluent distribution based soil type.  
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 1  further comprising an access port for removing settlement collected in said polishing pipe.  
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a connection device for connecting a second polishing pipe to a first polishing pipe at said second end of said first polishing pipe where said first and said second polishing pipes form an angle.  
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a marking disposed on said polishing pipe to accurately establish a proper orientation of said polishing pipe.  
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a marking on a receiving pipe to accurately establish a proper orientation of said receiving pipe based on a soil type.  
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a trench having a depth, width, and length with a base below ground level and generally parallel to said ground level.  
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 14  wherein said assembly is positioned in said trench whereby said assembly is generally displaced in a horizontal row, parallel to said ground level to maximize uniformity of effluent distribution.  
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 1  wherein a plurality of said assemblies are disposed in a single column where a first end of a second assembly connects to a said second end of a first assembly whereby said polishing pipes connect with a respective polishing pipes and said receiver pipes connect with respective receiver pipes.  
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 1  wherein said protective covering comprises a soil-impervious, liquid permeable fabric.  
     
     
         18 . An effluent distribution system for use with a sewage disposal system, said system comprising: 
 a distributing pipe having a cylindrical shaped wall, an inlet at a first end and an outlet at a second end, and a plurality of slots formed therethrough said wall;    a plurality of receiver pipes placed in a same row as said distributing pipe, each receiver pipe having a cylindrical shaped wall, an inlet at a first end and an outlet at a second end, and a plurality of slots formed therethrough said wall;    a protective covering over a top and two sides of said distributing pipe and said plurality of receiver pipes;    a trench having depth, width, and length with a base below ground level and generally parallel to said ground level;    wherein said system is positioned on said base in said trench whereby said system is generally parallel to said ground level to maximize uniformity of effluent distribution.    
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18  wherein two receiver pipes are placed on each side of said distributing pipe.
