Through slide shows and models, audiences are shown what an individual sewage treatment system is and how it works to treat the solid and liquid waste leaving individual households in areas not served by a municipal sewage treatment system. Discussion includes how to tell whether or not a system is working adequately to protect human health and ground water, as well as what home owners can do to maintain and protect their system to prevent premature failure and other costly problems.
