Groundwater infiltration and/or flooding caused communities in different parts of the country to arrive at the same solution.  Tune in for this tale of two towns, and find out how they solved an expensive infrastructure problem  with an innovative technology that’s been around for over forty years.  Faced with failing gravity sewers resulting in rain events overloading their wastewater treatment plants, these communities chose pressure sewer upgrades.  Significant savings on facility upkeep, treatment and electric costs have followed. 


If you are planning a central sewer rehabilitation or replacement project, this is a must-see event. In today's challenging economic environment, more municipalities and engineering firms are relying on the pressure sewer solution. Find out about the economic and environmental aspects of pressure sewer,  and learn about what helps ensure homeowner satisfaction before, during and after project completion, all from the operator/owners’ perspective.

Low-pressure, gravity-independent, contour-following sewage collection systems were pioneered by Environment One.  E/One Sewer® systems have proven to be an economical and effective method of sewering otherwise difficult land areas, such as flat, wet, rocky and hilly terrain.
At the heart of an E/One Sewer® is the Grinder Pump. These units accept household sanitary waste, grind it into a fine slurry, and pressurize it to permit transport through small-diameter pipes. E/One Sewer Systems currently serve over 1,000,000 end-users daily
