To sustain the environment and smart community growth while protecting public health, engineers, municipal health officials, and regulators need innovative wastewater treatment solutions.
The latest evolution of decentralized systems can efficiently handle residential and commercial daily flows and are a cost-effective alternative to the large, centralized wastewater treatment plants of the past. In fact, some decentralized community systems are collecting and treating more than 1 million gallons of wastewater per day. In many cases, a combined approach utilizing decentralized treatment strategies in concert with centralized wastewater districts or management structures offers the optimum solution for communities with minimum budgets for infrastructure projects and growing treatment needs.
