Coastal Single-Family Residence

Project Information

       

Date:      February, 2002
Location:     Harpswell, Maine
Facility:     2-Bedroom House
Design Flow:     180 Gallons per Day
Wastewater Type:     Residential

       

This year-round waterfront home in the beautiful island town of Harpswell was plagued with septic problems stemming from its 30-year-old undersized wastewater disposal system.  With shallow depths to bedrock, sensitive shellfish beds, and a nearby water supply well the installation of a conventional septic tank system was not an option.

 

An OxyPro 1000 wastewater treatment system was installed to continuously clean the septic tank effluent to an extremely high degree before the water was released into a disposal field.  This treated water poses a much lower risk to the environment than normal septic tank effluent because of the natural aerobic process employed by the OxyPro.

By electing to install an OxyPro 1000 advanced wastewater treatment system, the owner of this property made an environmentally responsible decision while increasing the usefulness and value of his property.
