What is an onsite wastewater treatment/disposal system?
An onsite wastewater treatment/disposal system is the means by which an individual home or a cluster of homes cleans and disposes of its wastewater. Usually this is known as a septic system. A conventional system is composed of a septic tank for pretreatment and a drainfield used for disposal of the wastewater. Each system, however, must be designed according to specific site conditions to ensure proper treatment.
