What Is a Sewage Treatment Plant?
A sewage treatment plant is a modern alternative to a traditional septic tank. It actively treats wastewater through mechanical and biological processes, breaking down solid waste and returning clean water into the environment. It’s more eco-friendly, effective, and often required by modern building regulations.
Off-mains drainage is crucial for properties that are too far from a mains connection or where the local mains system has reached capacity. In such cases, a sewage treatment plant becomes essential. Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an existing system, here’s what you need to know.
At Haydon’s Drainage, we work with all types of sewage treatment plants, including:
- Small domestic units for individual homes
- Larger systems for multiple households or commercial use
- Upgrades from septic tanks to full treatment plants
- Bio-disc and air-driven systems
