The home wastewater treatment system is a step forward from the older septic tank system for waste water treatment. It will provide a cleaner environment.

Home systems and small commercial systems are designed to handle waste treatment in areas that cannot be serviced by city sewer systems. Without a home treatment system, many homes could not be built in areas with very slow percolating soils, clay, rock or high water tables. Some of those conditions can allow effluent from a septic tank to move through the soil without treatment, polluting underground water supplies, ditches and streams. Home treatment systems can remedy those situations by using the same treatment process used by large central treatment plants. They are simply treatment plants down-sized to accommodate smaller requirements.
