If you live in a rural area on a larger parcel of land and you don’t have access to sewer, chances are that you will need to take care of your wastewater on site yourself. A Septic System is a tank that is burried near your home that all your wastewater goes into. The tank acts as a predigestion vessle, where bactira starts to break down the organic material. The tank is connected to slotted pipe or dome drains filled with gravell that go out onto a leachfield where excess liquid is absorbed by the soil. sizes vary depending on home size, soil absobion capabilities and lay of the land. You will need to get a Land Capability Assessment done by a licenced LCA practitioner.

A treatment Plant takes the ‘predigestion’ of nutrients a step further and ‘treats’ your wastewater to the point where it can be reused in your garden. It will allow you to irrigate parts of your ornamental gardens and shade trees. Not to be used for your vegetable gardens. These Systems requrie regular maintenance and have a chlorine component.

Wormfarms are as the name suggests Systems that use worms to help break down organic matter. There is a variatey of brands on the market and according to the latest testing they are an excellent choice to clean your wastwater without the use of chemicals. According to the latest test results from A&A Wormfarms they supercede some of the more convetional treatment systems in water quality and soil quality in leachfields produced post treatment. If you are health and environentally conscious and on a property that allows to have a wormfarm as treatment option this might be the system for you!
