sewage treatment
I know this is in the glossary under terrain d'épandage as land for spreading waste, but I'm not sure whether that applies here. This seems to be part of a septic tank/sewage treatment system. Eurodicautom gives épandage either as waste water spillage or broad irrigation, which I'm not sure about either.
Une filière d'épuration complète est constituée d'une fosse toutes eaux suivie d'un système de traitement (filtre à sable, **réseau d'épandage**, ...).
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Comment: "In view of Bourth's definition and the various ghits for leach field in the context of septic tanks, I think you're absolutely right - many thanks to everyone!"

wastewater infiltration system
It may well be this. There are quite a lot of ghits.
A "bassin d'épandage" is an infiltration basin, so why not?
A "bassin d'épandage" is an infiltration basin, so why not?

waste treatment network
The reference here as you have rightly thought is about a purification plant where waste/sewage is treated using sans filter, waste treatment network..

soakaway system
If this is something like a domestic septic tank system, that's what it would usually be called, I believe.

Hi, J-J! That must be the official term, down 'ere on the farm, we just call it a soakaway (clearly a rather informal term!)

definition
Dicobat - which I would recommend to anyone - says:
<<épandage ... 2/ Technique de dispersion des eaux dans le sol naturel, utilisée pour l'évacuation des effluents épurés des fosses septiques. Un épandage souterrain, ou "champ d'épandage", est constitué d'un réseau ramifié en "pattes d'araignée" de canalisations perforées, en ciment, en grès, ou plus généralement en PVC. Ces canalisations sont établies à environ 50cm de profondeur et en leger pente, dans un enrobage de gravillons.
