Is your septic system contaminating your drinking water?? A study conducted by the University of Waterloo has demonstrated artificial sweeteners making their way into groundwater through septic system discharge. Artificial sweeteners are approved for human consumption and in a wide variety of prepared, packaged, and processed foods. Artificial sweeteners also[…]

In the U.S. and Canada approximately 25% of households have a septic system for treating wastewater. These systems typically fail after 20 – 30 years of[…]
Read More »In rural areas of the developed world almost all domestic wastewater is disposed of and partially treated using in-ground septic tank systems. In the U.S. and Canada approximately 25% of households have a septic system for treating wastewater. These systems typically fail after 20 – 30 years of operation, equating[…]

Approximately 40% of U.S. residents rely on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Groundwater, especially unconfined sand and gravel aquifers, is vulnerable to contamination from septic[…]
Read More »A study carried out by the Silent Spring Institute (Newton, MA) has identified substantial quantities of some Chemicals of Emerging Concern (CECs), including pharmaceuticals and flame retardants are released into Cape groundwater. Older and failing septic system waste water treatment is identified as the leading source of contamination. The[…]

US EPA reports that approximately 25% of North American households (an estimated 60 million people rely on[…]
Read More »A recent study carried out by Baylor University has clearly demonstrated the benefit of septic system aeration in improving system performance and removing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) including pharmaceutical and estrogenic contaminants. These CEC contaminants have been detected in the groundwater of regions that rely heavily on septic systems.[…]
