Project Challenge:

This project entailed the design of a 4,100 gpd wastewater treatment and disposal system to service an existing school that was undergoing an expansion.

Environmental/Regulatory Factors:

Due to the expansion, the existing system was undersized. The challenge was to find suitable soils for disposal.

Options considered:

A lagoon was initially considered, but was quickly rejected due to health and safety concerns and lack of a suitable discharge location.

Solution:

The final design includes 2-Orenco AX100 Treatment Pods and a five-mound disposal field.

Result/Performance Data:

The system was constructed and startup took place in 2015.
