Types of Onsite Sewage Disposal Systems:

- Septic Tank System: This is the most common type of onsite sewage disposal system. It consists of a large underground tank that collects and separates solid waste from liquid waste. The liquid waste is then released into a drain field for further treatment.

- Aerobic Treatment System: This system uses oxygen to break down and treat waste more efficiently than a traditional septic tank system. It is often used in areas where soil conditions are not suitable for a septic tank.

- Mound System: This system is used in areas with high groundwater or shallow bedrock. It involves building a mound of soil above ground to provide additional treatment and filtration of wastewater.

- Constructed Wetland System: This system uses natural processes to treat wastewater by passing it through a series of wetland cells. The wetland plants and microbes help to remove pollutants and nutrients from the water.

- Recirculating Sand Filter System: This system uses a series of sand filters to treat wastewater before it is released into the soil. The sand filters help to remove contaminants and pathogens from the water.

Each type of onsite sewage disposal system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best system for a particular property will depend on factors such as soil conditions, site layout, and local regulations. It is important to consult with a professional to determine the most suitable system for your specific needs.
