Hauled wastewater program

What is hauled wastewater?

• a term for hauled sewage
• all matter (liquid and solid) that is pumped out of septic tanks, holding tanks and tanks/interceptors from residential or non-residential (commercial/industrial) properties
• raw and untreated
• more concentrated than regular sewered wastewater (the more concentrated it is, the more expensive it is to treat)
• more taxing on the treatment processes than regular sewered wastewater

Are there different types of hauled wastewater?

Yes, there are two types:

1. Household hauled wastewater
   • usually from residential properties not serviced by the wastewater sewer system
   • means grey water and toilet waste discharged by appliances (e.g., dishwashers, washing machines) and plumbing fixtures (e.g., toilets, urinals, bidets, sinks, showers, bathtubs)
   • typically two to four times more concentrated than regular sewered wastewater
2. Non-household hauled wastewater
   • usually from commercial/industrial properties
   • typically 70 to 340 times more concentrated than regular sewered wastewater

Who hauls wastewater?

• companies that have special trucks that can empty the wastewater from onsite wastewater management systems (e.g., holding tanks, septic tanks, portable toilets) and transport it to a wastewater treatment facility
