A vertical sidewall effluent dispersal system and method for narrow trench installations. A plurality of soil absorption modules are connected in series. Each system of multiple modules receives a balanced distribution of effluent. The modules comprise a conduit segment and an elongated grid body, both contained within a geotextile envelope. An orifice in the conduit segment emits effluent onto the underlying grid body. The grid body has a first flanking side and an opposite second flanking side. The first flanking side comprises a rectilinear pattern of horizontal steps and vertical dividers. The second flanking side comprises a diamond pattern of diagonally crisscrossing spreader fins. The first and second flanking side overlap at an interior switch-back zone that directs effluent laterally back-and-forth in a downward and longitudinally spreading cascade. Each soil absorption module is isolated from the next adjacent soil absorption module by an earthen barrier of trench backfill.
