A Guide to the Proper Care and
Maintenance of Your Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System
How to Take Care of Your Wastewater Treatment System
Congratulations, your home is now serviced by
a meticulously engineered wastewater treatment
system. Your new Delta wastewater treatment system
is designed for the collection and treatment of your
household wastewater.
When properly maintained, onsite wastewater
treatment systems efficiently treat household
wastewater and recycle local groundwater. Delta
wastewater treatment systems use little energy and
can often outperform municipal sewage treatment
plants. The treated wastewater, or effluent, is often
returned to the soil where it will receive a final level
of treatment before it renters and recharges the
groundwater. With an onsite wastewater treatment
system there's no degrading of our nation's rivers
and oceans, which is often the case with municipal
sewer system outflows.

other engineered system, like your heat pump or

your car. Engineered systems will last longer and
offer optimal performance if maintained regularly by
a qualified service provider. In the case of your Delta
wastewater treatment system, the service provider
will likely be the person who installed the system as
they're the most familiar with the ins and outs of the
system and where all of the components are located
on your property.
Aside from regularly scheduled maintenance of
the system, it's also important to be cautious of
what you put into the system. The following pages
outline some of the do's and don'ts to keep in mind
to ensure the longevity of your Delta wastewater
treatment system.
By following a maintenance schedule and our best
practice recommendations in the do's and don'ts
section, your Delta wastewater treatment system
should function for decades. You'll also save water,
energy, and pumpout costs, too!
Don't flush dangerous
or damaging substances
into your system.
