This grant is for the critical purpose of developing comprehensive reliability and life expectancy data for decentralized wastewater treatment systems. Currently, a significant gap exists in readily available information, such as tables, charts, and graphs, detailing the performance and longevity of these essential systems. This lack of data severely impedes operators, managers, and owners from effectively overseeing and maintaining decentralized wastewater infrastructure. Consequently, many systems are failing, posing substantial risks to public health and causing environmental degradation within aquatic ecosystems. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to equip stakeholders with the necessary data tools to ensure the proper operation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability of decentralized wastewater treatment, safeguarding both community well-being and environmental integrity.
