Water resources scarcity is a real problem. Domestic water consumption has dropped almost everywhere in the US and Canada, and people are well aware of the importance of saving water. Reduced domestic water consumption translates into reduced sewage flow, or in other words, less dilution and consequently higher concentration of pollutant in the sewage. Combine the problem of less water and higher concentrations with the exponential use of cleaning wipes and toilet paper not compatible with septic systems and you have a recipe for disaster (clogging, reduced life expectancy, premature failure, water table contamination, etc.). This session will present data on sewage flows and pollutant concentration, as well as effects of toilet paper and cleaning wipes on septic systems. New practices for home owners and septic designers will be presented and suggested to prevent problems and optimize septic system performance and longevity.
After this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Explain the necessity to adapt septic design practices.
2. Educate people on their domestic water management and practices.
3. Perform a quick test to check if a certain type of toilet paper is compatible for a septic system.
4. Implement new design practices that will improve performance and lower the level of risk in a septic system.
Ideal Audience: Installers, designers, pumpers.
Level: Basic
Type: 90-Minute Education Session
