Wipe, I do need to dig a trench and install some drain pipe to route water away from the leach field. Grab a shovel and come on over

That whole side of Main road is pretty much the same to the north. Robert Gray/Brackett/Kearns neighborhood is particularly bad. Pumps kicking on up and down the whole street when it rains, and at least a couple houses where they just keep running. yuck. Good luck!
