Diligent operation, servicing, and maintenance of a Wastewater Treatment System (WTS) are essential to longterm performance. The owner is responsible for operating the WTS within the wastewater flow used for design, and is legally obligated to maintain the WTS in accordance with Ontario Building Code regulations. Each design provided by FlowSpec Engineering includes a section regarding operation and maintenance which outlines your responsibilities and general good practices.
