Aerobic Treatment Unit Near Louisville

‍Replacing a Homemade Septic System with an Advanced ATU

A thorough septic inspection can uncover hidden problems that impact both performance and compliance. During a detailed inspection for this homeowner, we discovered two major issues: the property’s lateral lines were significantly less than required by regulation, and the septic tank was a homemade construction that did not meet standards.

With such a limited number of lateral lines and a non-compliant tank, the system was failing to operate properly. We coordinated with the local health department for a repair site evaluation, but due to space limitations, it was determined that a conventional system could not be installed on the property.

The next step was to pursue an aerobic treatment unit (ATU), which provides high-quality treatment in a smaller footprint.

Our team:

• Worked with the Division of Water to complete the permitting process for an ATU
• Removed the old, non-compliant tank
• Installed the new ATU system, designed to meet the property’s wastewater needs and all regulatory requirements

With the new ATU in place, the property now has a safe, efficient, and fully compliant septic system. The upgrade resolved the homeowner’s ongoing issues and ensured the system will operate effectively for years to come.
