Wastewater from single-family homes (or even a collection of homes) tends to be pretty much the same. But for commercial systems, the waste strength can vary wildly. In this episode, we talk with Garry-Lee Espinosa, one of our senior engineers, about the differences in wastewater designs for residential and commercial establishments and why those differences matter.

In this episode, we brought back our clean water expert, Geoff Salthouse, to talk about the quantity, quality, and availability of clean water, and how you can do something to benefit both yourself and future generations.

Wastewater infrastructure is an essential part of every community. It involves environmental and economic studies, designing and engineering, installation, maintenance, and sometimes, remediation. All of this costs money. So, where does that money come from? Our guests, Mike Saunders and Bill Snyder, share their knowledge and experience with us and tell us how this essential community resource gets funded.

Across the United States, nutrient discharges from wastewater systems are being regulated at an increasing rate. Decentralized wastewater treatment systems can provide better, more reliable solutions for reducing nutrients through biological processes. In this episode, we'll talk with Bill Hensley, one of our Senior Engineers, about what those nutrients are and how we go about reducing nitrogen and other nutrients of concern.

Building homes in scenic and pristine environments can present a problem when it comes to wastewater management and treatment. In this episode, we talk with Brian Cohen, our International Region Account Manager, about the project, Jack's Point, found in the beautiful New Zealand countryside. We discuss the decisions the developers faced and why they chose to use an Orenco liquid-only sewer for collection going to an AdvanTex Treatment System.

Septic tanks, in one form or another, are a part of every wastewater system. Thousands of them are installed each year across the country. Some are made of concrete, some out of fiberglass or a poly material, but they are all the same, right? Once they are installed and buried, does it really matter if they leak?
Join us as we talk with Steve Sinks, our NW Account Manager, about why choosing the right tank makes a difference to the environment, public health, and your pocketbook.

Every septic system, whether it is a septic tank and a gravity drainfield, or an advanced treatment system like AdvanTex®, share some common but very important parts. Join us as we talk with one of our Regional Managers, Cory Lyon, about some common parts that should be in every septic system and why they are so important.

Earth Day is a day to take stock of our planet and renew our efforts to protect our natural resources. One of the most precious, but often neglected, is our water. While we may think of it as an abundant resource, the fact is that there is precious little of it that we can use. Join us as we talk with Mike Saunders about how important it is that we educate ourselves and future generations on the importance of conserving and preserving this precious resource.
