Designing for Residential vs. Commercial Wastewater

Make It Clear: Why You Can't Just Flush and Forget

Designing wastewater systems no matter where the wastewater comes from is all the same, right? Unfortunately, the answer is "No". The waste coming from single-family homes (or even a collection of homes) tends to be the same from system to system. When designing for commercial systems though, the waste strength can vary wildly.
In this episode, we talk with GarryLee Espinosa, one of our senior engineers, about the differences in systems for residential and commercial establishments and why those differences matter.
