Wastewater Treatment
What are the key considerations for wastewater treatment?
Wastewater treatment is an important part of building services in Finnish rural areas. In our sparsely populated country, there are numerous ways to treat wastewater, of which an on-site wastewater system is a highly cost-effective solution.
This page provides information on wastewater treatment in rural areas. In apartment buildings, wastewater treatment is handled through sewer networks, with the wastewater treatment fee included in the property's water bill.
In Finland, the requirements for wastewater treatment come from legislation. However, in the land of thousands of lakes, water purity is also an important environmental and health value. Wastewater treatment ensures that contaminants do not end up in groundwater, wells, or swimming beaches.
When and how should wastewater treatment be arranged?
Finland is the promised land of rural areas and cottage living, which means wastewater treatment may require a separate system.
The first step in wastewater treatment is to determine your wastewater treatment needs.
There is no treatment requirement for wastewater if
– the property does not have a flush toilet, but an outhouse – if you only use carried water, you do not need a wastewater system
– the amount of wastewater generated from living is minimal
– your wastewater is discharged into the municipal sewer network.
If the amount of wastewater is very small, it can be discharged in a controlled manner into the soil. This applies to areas with carried water that are used occasionally, as infiltrating large amounts of wastewater into the soil can cause environmental harm.
The treatment requirement for greywater alone is lower, as its purification process is lighter compared to the blackwater from toilets. However, the contaminants and chemicals in greywater must also be properly treated. Greywater refers to water generated from activities such as washing, cleaning, or the kitchen. Blackwater, on the other hand, comes from toilet wastewater.
If you are considering the requirements for wastewater treatment on your property, you can always ask a wastewater professional for more information.
Wastewater treatment in rural areas works best with a wastewater system
Once your property meets the requirements for wastewater treatment, it is time to consider acquiring a wastewater treatment system.
A good wastewater system is always based on a wastewater plan, which defines the system's size, implementation, and equipment location. It is worth consulting a professional for the plan, as they are familiar with the details of wastewater treatment. A professionally prepared plan pays for itself many times over, as it ensures the solution is properly sized and as hassle-free as possible.
A system designed for a single property or household is the most cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment. When you have a system tailored to your needs, it matches your family's water usage in both size and cost.
