Is Your Sewer Resilient?

When sea levels rise, yesterday’s wastewater solutions become today’s problems. Prelos Sewer is the answer for building resilient sewer infrastructure.

As sea levels rise, both gravity sewer and septic systems allow untreated wastewater to comingle with sea water and storm water. Prelos Sewer is the best, most economical choice for watertight, economical sewer infrastructure.

  • Watertight, liquid-only sewer
  • Partially treats wastewater at the source
  • Shallow-buried systems
  • Equipment typically located above flood elevation
  • Can be “surgically” deployed to address failing septic systems
  • Save time, save money, protect coastal waters

The Resilient Wastewater Solution

The most resilient wastewater system should be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, be sealed against intrusion of any surface or ground water, and should be accessible for servicing, even when the right-of-way is flooded. Prelos Sewer is the solution for this emerging problem.
