Sewage Treatment Plants for Rural Homes
The best method of handling residential sewage is through a properly designed and operated community or municipal treatment system. But many areas of Missouri have population densities so low that installation costs prohibit using community systems. In these areas, families must rely on individual waste treatment systems.
There are three generally recognized methods of handling wastes from a rural residence. They are the stabilization lagoon, the septic tank and the individual aerobic treatment plant.
This publication describes features and functions of the individual plant or package treatment system.
Individual package plants are a relatively new development in waste handling. Most units available today have been on the market less than 10 years. In spite of claims, the following general statements can be made about all individual package systems.
- Effluent, discharged fluid, from these systems is not clean water. It is a potential pollutant and must be handled appropriately.
- Each system has some mechanical parts that require periodic checks, maintenance and repair. There is no such thing as a completely trouble-free, maintenance-free sewage treatment system.
- Individual package treatment systems cost more to install and operate than other types of approved individual systems.

Sewage System Maintenance
Sewage system maintenance is an important part of owning and managing a home sewage treatment system
Sewage system maintenance is an important part of owning and managing a home sewage treatment system. Sewage treatment systems are designed to process human waste so it is important to be aware of what you are putting into your system.
The likes of cooking fats, oils, food scraps and even ‘flushable’ wet wipes can block pipes, causing major damage to your treatment system. As a result, it is imperative to have a regular maintenance and servicing plan in place to ensure the smooth running of your system.
Here in Queensland, Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP) servicing needs to be conducted quarterly by licensed wastewater professionals as per the regulations set by the Queensland Government. Keeping your system regularly maintained will help to keep it running optimally and prevent any potential disruptions. Contact us to arrange your maintenance schedule.
