EPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment: Processes and Systems

Millions of households live in rural areas that do not have access to public water or sewer systems.  They must get their fresh water from private wells, and treat their household wastewater effluent using onsite wastewater treatment systems.  Treating wastewater aids in the safe recycling of water to the environment; however, faulty systems can contaminate the surrounding environment, spreading contaminants and disease that may pollute groundwater reservoirs for generations. This 4-hour interactive online course is based on Chapter 4: Treatment Processes and Systems, from the Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Manual published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This chapter is intended as an informational guide to understanding the various types of onsite wastewater treatment systems and their treatment uses and capacities.
