Step 1 - The Septic Tanks

As wastewater leaves the building, it goes into concrete septic tanks buried beneath the ground.  Waste from the kitchen goes directly into a 3000-gallon grease tank, while the remainder of the building’s wastewater goes into the 9100-gallon septic tank, specially designed for this project.  Water from those two tanks pass into another underground tank (4800 gallon), which filters the wastewater before pumping it to the constructed wetlands.
