Waste Water Technologies, Inc. got its foot in the door of wastewater treatment and disposal with Drippings Springs Middle School. Since then we have achieved certification from the TNRCC that the Perc-Rite® system is the only drip irrigation system approved to be used with simple and reliable septic treatment of the wastewater. This allows any system that is below 5,000 gallons per day the option to use septic treatment instead of costly and sometimes temperamental secondary treatment systems. This offers owners of these types of systems savings not only in design and construction cost, but also in operation and maintenance for the life of the system. Another significant achievement for Waste Water Technologies was being able to reuse effluent to irrigate recreation fields and playgrounds using drip irrigation technology. We have reused effluent to irrigate baseball fields, band practice fields, soccer fields, football fields, and play areas. Recently we put in a system at Hudson Bend Middle School. This particular system was used to irrigate the football field with the use of the school's effluent. The football field uses the subsurface irrigation system, which allows the effluent to be absorbed by the soil and grass and does not allow percolation past the root zone or come to the surface. This also ensures that none of the water is wasted.

The ability to reuse effluent in public areas through subsurface drip irrigation has enabled many developers to maximize the number of units on a piece of property. By utilizing subsurface drip irrigation technology coupled with our management system, developers are able to integrate the wastewater reuse into the subdivision as publicly accessable greenspace giving even small lots a much larger feel. The wastewater disposal area becomes an amenity rather than an eyesore with large storage ponds and spray irrigation fields that allow no public access. Waste Water Technologies, Inc. is currently contracted for Commander's Point Condominiums. This subdivsion was designed with small lots that back up to large areas of green space which are irrigated with effluent from the wastewater treatment plant. The treatment plant uses septic tanks, re-circulating gravel filters and re-circulation tanks to treat the waste water in a high quality before introducing it into the green belts.

Besides creating specialized drip irrigation systems, Waste Water Technologies, Inc. also installs pre-treatment systems for high strength waste facilities, such as restaurants, so that it is safe for the water to enter into a municipal sewer collection system. The Nibbler ® technology enables waste with high levels of organics, fats, oils or greases to be treated to a level comparable to domestic strength waste. The McDonald's on Highway 71 at Bee Caves road is a perfect example of this. Waste Water Technologies, Inc. built a system that was designed to bring McDonald's effluent levels down to domestic levels, which in turn prevents a surge of high strength waste into the municipal treatment facilities.
