On-site sewage treatment is not what it used to be....
The days of buried car bodies, polluted groundwater and raw sewage oozing out of the ground are hopefully over. Today, a higher standard is expected of developers and homeowners.
Environmental regulations have become more strict in response to citizens' concerns over groundwater contamination and sustainable development practices.
Specializing in soils investigations and on-site sewage system design, the professionals at Engineering Technologies Canada, Ltd. (ETC) will consider all of your on-site sewage treatment and disposal options.
