WWEMA Window: Designing Wastewater Treatment Equipment For Resiliency
9/24/2023
It is a known issue that wastewater infrastructure is aging and is in need of significant investment to upgrade or replace systems to operate safely. Age is not the only factor driving system replacements. Wastewater itself has changed, which means what flows through collection systems and into treatment plants is different than what it was 50 years ago. At home, lower-flow toilets translate to less water to move flushed solids.
