The Township of Hillsdale, New York
35,000 GPD
72 Connections
120 Homes & Businesses A classic New England village between the Hudson
Valley and the Berkshires, Hillsdale has beautiful countryside, a quaint
town square and well-to-do “weekenders” from Manhattan, and failing
septic systems. In fact, the town has been under a consent order from
the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation since 1990.
Hillsdale’s consulting engineers, Clark Engineering & Surveying,
recommended an Orenco Effluent Sewer followed by an AdvanTex Treatment
System. Originally, the plans included a four-cell constructed wetland
for nitrogen-polishing before dispersal. Because the AdvanTex System is
able to meet the TN requirement on its own, the town was able to remove
the wetlands from the permit, saving approximately $200,000. Grants and
no-interest loans from a variety of sources are funding the project.
Construction began in the fall of 2007 and completed in Spring 2008.
Cost per connection was approximately $15,000 excluding design fees.
Wastewater Technologies, Inc. provided consultation, design, and
regulatory assistance along with the equipment and installation support.
 In
addition to Residential sales & support, WTI has a complete Commercial
program to assist in all aspects of development, products, sales &
service. All Commercial projects run through a rigorous program to
ensure the end result meets expected effluent quality goals.
WTI also maintains a full time Field Services Department. This
department services residential & commercial systems all over New
England & New York. From ISF’s, RSF’s, AdvanTex®, ProSTEP, or
conventional, our staff is available for immediate repairs, annual
service contracts, and consulting.
