We’re already seeing a trend of communities expanding into previously unpopulated areas—often moving closer to lakes, rivers, and streams. The impact that this has on the water supply is immediate and grave, and the current infrastructure and treatment solutions simply aren’t up to the task.

As the distances to existing treatment plants increase, the feasibility of transporting wastewater across that distance rapidly diminishes. Even if the water can be transported, those treatment plants are typically already over run since they weren’t built to handle the growing load.

On-site septic systems aren’t the answer either. These types of treatment take up too much valuable land—and, quite frankly, don’t work to clean wastewater to modern standards and requirements.

Treating wastewater before it leaves the community is the most powerful and effective way to address the water crisis. Waterhorse MBR from Econse is an easy-to-use, packaged system that allows these growing communities to effectively treat wastewater onsite, year-round. Either bringing wastewater to levels that are safe for discharge back into the environment, or to levels that won’t overwhelm the existing, centralized treatment plant. The best part, they scale to address growth and future environmental requirements.

The growing housing crisis combined with the need to create safe, clean living for underserved populations creates a growing challenge. And at Econse, we believe that it is our responsibility to create practical, affordable solutions that work for developers, residents, and the environment.

Waterhorse MBR helps communities grow without growing their impact on the environment.
