Your new Delta wastewater treatment system <br />is designed for the collection and treatment of your <br />household wastewater. <br />When properly maintained, onsite wastewater <br />treatment systems efficiently treat household <br />wastewater and recycle local groundwater. Delta <br />wastewater treatment systems use little energy and <br />can often outperform municipal sewage treatment <br />plants. The treated wastewater, or effluent, is often <br />returned to the soil where it will receive a final level <br />of treatment before it renters and recharges the <br />groundwater. With an onsite wastewater treatment <br />system there’s no degrading of our nation’s rivers <br />and oceans, which is often the case with municipal <br />sewer system outflows. <br />Your Delta wastewater treatment system is like any <br />other engineered system, like your heat pump or <br />your car. Engineered systems will last longer and <br />offer optimal performance if maintained regularly by <br />a qualified service provider. In the case of your Delta <br />wastewater treatment system, the service provider <br />will likely be the person who installed the system as <br />they’re the most familiar with the ins and outs of the <br />system and where all of the components are located <br />on your property. <br />Aside from regularly scheduled maintenance of <br />the system, it’s also important to be cautious of <br />what you put into the system. The following pages <br />outline some of the do’s and don’ts to keep in mind <br />to ensure the longevity of your Delta wastewater <br />treatment system. <br />By following a maintenance schedule and our best <br />practice recommendations in the do’s and don’ts <br />section, your Delta wastewater treatment system <br />should function for decades. You’ll also save water, <br />energy, and pumpout costs, too! <br />Don’t flush dangerous or damaging substances into your system.
