Trusted Septic Tank Installers in Okotoks, AB

The Amazing World of Septic in a Place That is Nearly Underwater - My Visit to Florida 2020 How do you treat wastewater effectively before it makes its way back into the groundwater when you might only have 6” or less of soil above the water table? You see, I have always been fascinated by how different areas and regions have different methods and tech to adapt to the VERY different and diverse on-site conditions, soils, and challenges. If I have ever learned only one thing, it’s that there isn’t just a “one size fits all” way to design and build septic systems. FOWA facilities are located in a small town SW of Orlando. I arrived and immediately noticed that they’ve got something that I’d like to see in Alberta one day….. a field training facility. They’ve got dozens of septic tanks, Advanced Treatment Units, and septic field systems installed around the 2 or 3 acres out back that are easily accessible. They even have an experimental leach field technology that they are evaluating to see if it should be allowed as a standard treatment system in Florida. Their septic tanks can be buried very close to the surface; they don’t worry about freezing like we do, and most homes don’t have basements so the tanks don’t need to be buried deep. Septic system designs that have pressure distribution require a higher certification level for both the designer / installer. Many systems there are still designed as gravity distribution systems and don’t use pumps.
