Task Force for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment

"Adequately managed decentralized wastewater systems are a cost effective and long-term option for meeting public health and water quality goals, particularly in less densely settled areas." US EPA Report to Congress, 1997

The Task Force for Decentralized Wastewater Management has been creating tools to help communities use innovative on-site wastewater technologies. Suburban and rural communities may save up to 20-30% with decentralized wastewater management as compared to central sewage treatment. Our guidance documents explain how to 1) assess wastewater needs, 2) design risk-based wastewater treatment strategies and 3) build community on-site management organizations and 4) make systems acountable. With these tools, communities can solve problems like nutrient degradation, groundwater contamination and stormwater pollution without recourse to costly central treatment facilities.
