At the site of a capped abandoned dump next to the Bay we designed and gained permits from the City of San Francisco for the first wastewater treatment system in San Francisco. We worked with the city's Public Health Department and the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
At this residential site we coordinated with the owner to utilize the onsite wastewater system in order to reuse blackwater in a drip irrigation system, adding value and beauty with the septic system. Check out these before and after pictures!
A difficult site with an only 800-square-foot area for wastewater disposal, which was also a path to a residence. The owner requested a simple system with low maintanence.
In this restricted lot, only ten feet from a creek, we used peat fiber as a green low impact alternative to treating wastewater prior to a drip irrigation leach field.
