What does an "Approved System" indicate about a wastewater system?

An "Approved System" signifies that the wastewater system has fulfilled minimum regulatory standards for operation. This label indicates that the system has been reviewed and has met the specific criteria set forth by relevant regulatory bodies to ensure it operates safely and effectively. Meeting these standards is essential for protecting public health and the environment, as it assures compliance with regulations that dictate how wastewater should be managed.

The concept of an "Approved System" does not provide guarantees that the system will perform satisfactorily for an indefinite period; rather, it indicates compliance at the time of approval. Additionally, while an "Approved System" is a valid option for installation, it is not the exclusive type that can be installed; there may be other systems that also meet regulatory standards. Furthermore, having an "Approved System" does not imply that installation can occur without further inspections, as numerous regulations typically require inspections throughout the installation and operation phases to ensure ongoing compliance and performance.
