Package Wastewater Treatment

Many localized developments and small, rural communities do not have access to conventional wastewater collection and treatment systems. These communities have historically relied on individual on-site septic systems to meet their wastewater disposal needs.

Regulatory authorities are now requiring a higher degree of treatment before wastewater can be discharged into the ground if the anticipated wastewater flow exceeds certain thresholds.

Tata & Howard has specific experience in the evaluation, design and construction of so-called package wastewater treatment facilities with disposal of treated effluent to the ground.  Our work generally consists of evaluation of the hydrogeological features of potential disposal areas, review of treatment process options, preparation of permit applications, development of detailed design criteria, preparation of plans and specifications, construction administration and start-up services.  Recent representative projects include a planned, mixed use community of 1,000 residences, a condominium community, three school campuses, a shopping plaza, and a village.
