A Step-By-Step Guide to the Wastewater Hauling Process

The wastewater hauling process can be complicated and time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We’ve put together a complete list of the steps in the wastewater hauling process, including not only those taken by White River Environmental Services but also those of our customers. The following list outlines the most important parts of this process, so you’ll know what to expect no matter what business or facility you need us to help with your next hauling job.

What is wastewater?

The wastewater is what goes down your drain that’s not clean enough to drink. It’s mostly made up of water, as well as things you’ve put down your drain, including soap and food particles. If it wasn’t treated, it would cause problems in our waterways. So, we have a few options for getting rid of it—we can recycle it or send it to a treatment plant where they treat all kinds of wastewater before sending it back into our rivers and streams (where we get our drinking water). But most communities do something in between—they haul their wastewater away from homes and businesses so they can send it off for treatment somewhere else.

How does it get transported?

When it comes time for your wastewater hauling company to pick up waste from a residence or business, you’ll be dealing with a truck. The size of these trucks will vary based on how much waste is being picked up and how far it needs to be hauled, but for most residential services, you’ll see trucks that hold between 3,000 and 10,000 gallons. In fact, most hauling companies, like White River Environmental Services, have fleets of several different types of trucks designed for various circumstances.

How can you handle organic materials in wastewater?

If you have an effective wastewater system in place, you’ll need to know how and where different substances can be sent. Here’s a breakdown of how you can handle each kind of organic material in your wastewater. The first step is to use a septic tank, which is specifically designed for processing solid waste. It contains layers of sand or gravel that help remove contaminants, such as oil and grease, from domestic waste before it enters your drainage pipes.

What are common issues with wastewater?

Wastewater hauling can be one of those tasks that never crosses your mind until it’s too late. Suddenly, you are faced with an overflowing toilet or sink and your disposal is completely clogged. The culprit behind these problems is usually trapped food particles and grease that settle in your pipes, so it’s important to keep up with wastewater hauling to avoid these issues.
