Residents Install Liquid-Only Sewer & Treatment System, Cut Costs in Half
Problem
Failing septic systems in Starbuck, Washington, threatened to pollute groundwater and the nearby Tucannon River, and residents discovered they wouldn't be able to replace their current systems because their lots didn't meet the state's minimum size for wastewater systems.
Solution
By supplementing grant money with citizen "sweat equity," the town's residents were able to install an affordable Orenco Liquid-Only Sewer and AdvanTex® Treatment System, an efficient, effective, nutrient-reducing wastewater system.
