Onsite wastewater systems serve as essential solutions for collecting, treating and distributing wastewater generated by homes or businesses. Typically, these systems include a septic tank, a pump tank (if a pump system), a distribution device and a drainfield designed to efficiently disperse treated wastewater into the ground. Manufacturers play a crucial role in developing and packaging new technologies for on-site wastewater systems. Wake County actively collaborates with manufacturers to inform stakeholders about the latest innovations and products available. These new products serve as alternatives to traditional stone and pipe septic systems. If you are an engineer, registered environmental health specialist, consultant, licensed soil scientist, installer or work in the profession, make sure to participate in our free, in-person workshop.
