• Motivation for the Project
• To protect the water quality of our lakes.
• Critical to survival of the lake.
• Already failing potential failure of older
  wastewater systems which degrade surface and
  groundwater.
• Central system ensures no water quality
  degradation from on-site systems.
• To protect or increase the value of our property.
• Quality lake water ensures recreation value.
• Central system will be appealing to future
  property owners.
• Improve aesthetic appeal of property by
  eliminating mounds.
• Provide safe drinking water.

• Motivation for the Project
• Offer a solution to problems associated with
  drain fields (ie.) lack of land, mounds, etc.
• Running out of room for drain fields.
• Many have to purchase additional back-lots for
  drain fields.
• Offer a more convenient efficient system.
• Less individual maintenance.
• Can install both systems at one time cheaper than
  installing them separately.

• Pros of Central System
• Improves overall quality of environment water.
• Increases property value.
• 50-100 year life expectancy.
• Less individual maintenance (ie.) will include a
  softening treatment system saves money.
• No concerns with drinking water or problems with
  staining laundry.
• Cheaper to construct two systems at the same
  time.

• Cons of Private Systems
• Concerns with older systems potential for
  failure.
• Decreases aesthetic quality of property (ie.)
  mounds or little room for expansion.
• 20 year life expectancy.
• High cost of individual maintenance (ie.)
  replacing pumps, salts, softeners, electricity,
  screens, drilling, draining, lack of room,
• etc. hidden or forgotten costs.
