Aerobic treatment systems on the rise in New England
With tougher regulations being adopted by local states and towns, aerobic treatment systems are becoming more common in many residential on-site applications. The Mass Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) requires that on-site systems meet stricter wastewater treatment quality standards in well protection areas, coastal towns and locations with high water tables. They are now required in New Hampshire at sites located too close to critical water resources (i.e., lakes and ponds). In Maine some towns have recently adopted tougher regulations that require treatment at advanced levels. With increased adoption of these aerobic treatment systems, our important water resources will be protected for future generations to enjoy.
