LPS is a low-head pressure waste collection 和 treatment system. 的 system basically consists of a control panel, 拦截坦克, 和 sump chamber unit which houses a small sewage effluent pump. 的 sewage effluent pump sends the liquid wastewater (effluent) through a small pressure line to a main pressure line 和 into one of our wastewater facilities for final treatment. 的 solid waste that remains in each homeowner's LPS tank naturally degrades.
的 system from the sewer tank to the wastewater plant is maintained by the 公用事业部门, including parts 和 labor costs. This includes the pumping out of the tank if solids build up. However, the house plumbing problems are the responsibility of the customer.
For existing homes (not new construction), our Field Technician will 联系 the property owner to deliver an electrical panel for the LPS service after the utility connections fees have been paid. It is the property owner's responsibility to hire an electrician to install the electrical panel 和 a dedicated circuit breaker according to our 标准. Once the electrical work passes inspection, our staff will place the address on their schedule to complete the work. This service can take up to 6 weeks or more to complete.
