S.T.E.P. Septic Tank Effluent Pumped
This department oversees the installation and maintenance of the sewer systems
currently in three subdivisions in Lowell: Tuscan Heights , Weatherton , and
Meadowlands.
These are called Decentralized Waste Water Treatment Systems. There is a septic
tank at each residence with a pump that sends the water only, to a waste water
treatment plant. The water (effluent) is then treated and dispersed into the
ground thru a drip irrigation system.
The goal of this department is to collect, treat and dispose of waste from these
systems in an environmentally friendly and cost effective method while staying
in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, and regulations.
Storm water
Storm water is water that originates during precipitation events. Such as rain,
snow, hail, ect.. Storm water that does not soak into the ground becomes surface
run off. This water either flows directly into surface waterways (creeks, lakes)
or is channeled into storm drains, and ditches which eventually carries the
water into water ways that discharge into rivers and lakes where we get our
drinking water. This water is entering our streams and lakes untreated;
therefore we need to take measures to prevent this water from getting
contaminated.
It is the goal of this department to maintain the cities storm water permit in
compliance with all local, state and federal laws, and to keep our waters of the
state safe and clean for generations to come.
Common contaminates include but are not limited to:
Fertilizers, pesticides, fluids from leaky cars and equipment, sediments from
construction and exposed dirt, litter and debris, pet waste
There are things, we can do as individuals, to help keep our water clean and
safe for generations to come,
here are a few:
Properly dispose of house hold chemicals
Keep garbage cans covered
Keep grass and yard waste out of gutters
Recycle and compost when you can
Use proper BMP's on construction sites
Repair leaking automobiles and equipment
The City of Lowell is obligated under law to try and keep our water resources
uncontaminated, there are rules and regulations that we all must adhere to:
