This system was designed by Flo, but the idea may be used freely by any Town in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any commercial entity or Town or City outside of this area, which uses this system may contact Flo for permission beforehand.
This hybrid system is for towns which currently have septic systems and are proposing to convert to municipal sewer system.
ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID SEWER-SEPTIC SYSTEM
Ends underground water pollution from septic system leach fields
Municipal water supplies will require less treatment
Ponds and rivers will not have pollution from septic systems
Wildlife will not be harmed by polluted water from septic waste
Algae plooms will be reduced to those occurring naturally and not triggered by septic waste
Preserves existing septic system
Continues to hold home owner responsible for disposing of solid waste from their home's plumbing waste
Prevents home owners from disposing of hazardous material into sewer as it will cause breakdown of septic system
Retain jobs currently being held by septic disposal pumper truck companies
Makes it easier to process waste at treatment plant because solids are retained at the source for disposal by homeowner at their expense
The cost is much less to process the liquid waste
Building a treatment plant will not be as costly
Future septic tanks will not have to be built above ground, as is currently being done in towns with high water table
Older septic systems will not have to be upgraded because of failing leach fields, because leach fields are eliminated
Companies which currently manufacture and/or install septic tanks will retain their jobs
There will be jobs created for new hook-ups to town sewer
There will be new jobs created at the sewer treatment facility
Any existing cesspools would have to be replaced by septic tanks
