When it comes to wastewater management, there are several options available, including holding tanks, septic tanks, and sewer treatment plants. While they all serve the same purpose of managing wastewater, there are some key differences between them. At Two Hills Septic, we specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining each type of septic system. In this blog post, we'll explore the similarities and differences between holding tanks, septic tanks, and sewer treatment plants.
All three types of systems are designed to manage wastewater. They each store or treat wastewater to prevent it from contaminating the environment. Additionally, they all require regular maintenance to ensure they continue to function properly.
Holding Tanks: Holding tanks are designed to hold wastewater until it can be transported to a treatment facility or disposed of in another way. They do not treat the wastewater and must be emptied regularly by a professional pumping service. Holding tanks are often used in areas where there is no access to a centralized sewer system or septic system.
Septic Tanks: Septic tanks are self-contained systems that are used in areas where there is no access to a centralized sewer system. They consist of a large underground tank that is designed to hold and treat wastewater from a home or building. The wastewater enters the tank, where solids settle to the bottom and are broken down by bacteria. The liquid effluent then exits the tank and is dispersed into a drain field where it is further treated by the soil.
Sewer Treatment Plants: Sewer treatment plants are centralized facilities that are designed to treat large volumes of wastewater from multiple sources. They use a combination of physical, biological, and chemical processes to remove contaminants from the wastewater. Treatment plants are used if there is a high-water table because it has to be run through a specified treatment process before releasing it to a drain field where it's then further treated by the soil.
