Why a simple cesspool must become a modern wastewater system
In short: When upgrading a historic home like the Westerly house, the original waste disposal method may no longer suffice. This video follows Richard Trethewey and engineer Jeff Balch as they design a modern wastewater solution to replace an outdated cesspool.
The Westerly house originally relied on a cesspool, one of the most basic forms of wastewater management. However, new construction on the property necessitates a more sophisticated upgrade. Engineer Jeff Balch joins Richard Trethewey to outline the technical requirements and the modern engineering plans required to transition from such a primitive system to contemporary standards.
