Wastewater Systems

Simple, Safe, and Cost Effective Wastewater Management for wastewater, wash water, storm water, and rainwater

Wastewater systems are critical infrastructure components for commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities, ensuring the safe and efficient removal of used water and other liquid waste. These systems play a vital role in maintaining sanitary conditions, protecting public health, and preserving environmental quality. In commercial and industrial settings, wastewater often contains a variety of contaminants — from cleaning agents and organic waste to chemical byproducts — that must be properly managed to prevent pollution and regulatory violations. A well-designed and maintained wastewater system ensures that wash water, which may carry dirt, grease, and chemicals, is directed to the sanitary sewer system where it can be properly treated at municipal wastewater treatment plants.

Equally important is the proper management of stormwater. Rainwater runoff should be directed to storm drains, not into the sanitary sewer. This separation is crucial to avoid overwhelming wastewater treatment systems during heavy rainfall and to prevent untreated water from being released into the environment. Keeping wash water out of storm drains and ensuring it flows into the sewer system — while guiding rainwater away from it — helps reduce the risk of flooding, contamination of local water bodies, and costly fines for non-compliance. In short, proper wastewater and stormwater management in commercial and manufacturing settings safeguards infrastructure, supports environmental stewardship, and ensures compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
