MORGANTOWN, WV-A video titled "Producing Watertight Concrete Septic Tanks" and a supplemental "best practices" manual are now available from the National Small Flows Clearinghouse (NSFC).
Developed by the National Precast Concrete Association and the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association, this 37-minute video and manual explain every step in the production of a watertight septic tank. Professionals from the precast concrete and onsite wastewater industry narrate the process and emphasize that precast concrete septic tanks are ideally suited for onsite wastewater systems.
The manual provides information about materials and techniques that may be used to manufacture and install watertight concrete septic tanks. This book is not meant to be used as a regulatory code nor as a minimum design standard, but rather as an aid to manufacturers, engineers, and owners. References, a glossary, and a list of related publications are included.
This video/manual package can serve as a resource for engineers, managers, local officials, contractors/developers, finance officers, operators, researchers, state regulatory agencies, planners, state officials, the general public, and public health officials.
