Safety in soil choice

We have had a septic drain field overflow fixed and my husband wants to use that soil in a raised vegetable garden bed. I say it is not safe because of the standing septic water, he says it is safe and good soil. Please help. I’m sure e-coli would be the least of the issues! Thanks!

No, do not use this soil for gardening.

Serious pathogens in the soil can enter the food.
