Transform Your Municipality with Decentralized Community Sanitation
1. PRESERVING LAKES AND RIVERS
2. GENERATING SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS
Beyond a certain number of users, a community sanitation system proves more cost-effective compared to individual septic systems, and the savings increase with a larger user base. To make well-informed financial decisions for your project and avoid unexpected expenses, it is essential to conduct an economic analysis that considers installation and maintenance costs over several years for collection and treatment infrastructure. Furthermore, a community septic system enables the reduction of regulatory minimum lot sizes for new housing developments, promoting densification and efficient land use.
3. ADAPTING TO CURRENT COMPLIANCE STANDARDS
Implementing a community wastewater treatment system resolves the challenges posed by non-compliant septic systems within a designated area, even in the presence of constraints such as low soil permeability, limited land availability, or flood-prone zones.
4. STREAMLINING OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
A centralized system for a large user base simplifies the operations and maintenance requirements. All equipment is conveniently located in one place, easily accessible, and come with a monitoring and telemetry system like Ultimo, providing continuous remote access to clear operational information. This enables better planning of maintenance activities, ensures timely interventions, and minimizes the risk of undetected pollution leaks that could remain unaddressed for extended periods.
5. EFFECTIVELY MANAGING DISCHARGE
Ultimo, as a highly efficient wastewater treatment process, produces treated water that meets the strictest discharge standards set by the Ministry of the Environment. The pollutants extracted from the wastewater are stored in a dedicated tank, which is emptied as needed using vacuum trucks. Managing the emptying of a community wastewater system becomes more streamlined, as there are no individual septic tanks to be emptied at each user’s premises.
6. CONSULTING WATER MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE
By utilizing water services, you entrust specialists to handle your wastewater treatment instead of purchasing and operating a treatment plant through conventional means. Water services offer potential cost savings in both capital expenditure and long-term operational expenses. This approach aligns with the principles of sustainable development, emphasizing the quality and durability of components rather than solely focusing on obtaining the lowest initial price, without considering the high costs associated with operating, maintaining, and replacing inferior components.
