2. Septic tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_tank

   A septic tank is an underground chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic through which domestic wastewater flows for basic sewage treatment. [2] Settling and anaerobic digestion processes reduce solids and organics, but the treatment efficiency is only moderate (referred to as "primary treatment"). [2]

3. Grinder pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinder_pump

   A pump for household use is usually 1 hp, 1.5 hp or 2 hp. A cutting mechanism macerates waste and grinds items that are not normally found in sewage, but may get flushed down the toilet. The pump has a level sensor either built into the pump, called “sensing bells,” or attached externally to the pump, typically a float switch. (The level ...

4. Onsite sewage facility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsite_sewage_facility

   Onsite sewage facilities (OSSF), also called septic systems, are wastewater systems designed to treat and dispose of effluent on the same property that produces the wastewater, in areas not served by public sewage infrastructure. A septic tank and drainfield combination is a fairly common type of on-site sewage facility in the Western world.

5. Septic drain field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_drain_field

   A septic drain field, a septic tank, and associated piping compose a septic system. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals (and surface runoff) from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches.

6. Sewage treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment

   Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. [2]

7. Pumping station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

   The storage volume of the wet well between the "pump on" and "pump off" settings is designed to minimize pump starts and stops, but is not so long a retention time as to allow the sewage in the wet well to go septic. Sewage pumps are almost always end-suction centrifugal pumps with open impellers and are specially designed with a large open ...
