Where centralized sewering is not practical or desirable, the numerous new approaches to decentralized wastewater treatment offer communities, owners, and developers a way to move forward without waiting for sewer extensions to reach their site or the treatment plant to be expanded.
Decentralized systems are proving their value beyond traditional use
in rural settings, treating larger volumes of wastewater in diverse
applications while easing O&M concerns.
Many cities and communities are developing solutions using a variety of approaches to prevent combined sewer overflows (CSOs).
Aerobic treatment units (ATUs) offer a suitable environment for microorganisms to treat wastewater. These pre-engineered advanced wastewater treatment systems are alternatives for small system designs with space restrictions and limited room for conventional treatment or where centralized sewerage is not available.

To sustain the environment and smart community growth while protecting public health, engineers, municipal health officials, and regulators need innovative wastewater treatment solutions.
Providing a suitable environment for microorganisms to treat wastewater is what aerobic treatment units (ATUs) are all about. These advanced systems outshine alternatives on tight lots where there is no room for conventional treatment and on sites with poor soils, shallow vertical separation distances to limiting conditions, and horizontal setback restrictions.
