Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes "de-centralized" wastewater systems?

  “De-centralized” generally refers to a wastewater system which collects, treats and disposes of wastewater in general proximity to where the wastewater is being generated.

How do de-centralized systems compare to traditional "big pipe" or individual septic systems?

  The cost and complexity of installing a “big-pipe” system is substantially higher than installing an Adenus de-centralized solution. Individual septic systems fall short in comparison to de-centralized solutions due primarily to lot size restrictions and performance reliability.

1.      Flexibility in development design. Adenus solutions facilitate development goals no matter if the market demands maximum density or a balanced mix of density, open space and commercial

2.      The ability to walk away from the development’s wastewater system with the assurance that a competent and qualified company will be there to own and operate the system in perpetuity.
