Low Pressure Pipe Distribution


The LPP system that is on display was designed for a wastewater loading rate that is typical for a three bedroom home.  The system is elevated to allow trainees to view all the components of a properly installed system.  During training sessions potable water, which simulates wastewater, is pumped through the system. 



The LPP pump tank and distribution lines. Each of the laterals
were place at different elevations to demonstrate a system
on a sloped terrain.
