Send us a text Hawaii is facing a major wastewater challenge, with 83,000 cesspools discharging 52 million gallons of raw wastewater into the ocean every day. This is causing significant damage to the marine environment, including coral reefs. The state has set a goal to close all cesspools by 2050, but progress has been slow. The estimated cost to eliminate all cesspools is around $2 billion, and this number is likely to increase. Existing wastewater infrastructure in Hawaii is in poor condition, with limited funding for repairs and maintenance.

It discusses the two main aspects of aging infrastructure: deteriorating functionality and becoming obsolete. The timeline for infrastructure to be considered aging varies, with some systems losing functionality as early as 10 years. Not surprisingly, the problem of aging infrastructure is significant, with thousands of sewer overflows reported and billions of dollars spent on repairs and maintenance. The conversation highlights the need for regulatory oversight, proper maintenance, and funding to address the challenges of aging infrastructure.

Make It Clear: Why You Can't Just Flush and Forget
Send us a text In the wastewater industry, being an equipment dealer means so much more than just selling equipment. There is often more to a project than just the parts and piece that go into an installation. Many dealers often offer additional services or resources that can help in every phase of a project. Engineers sometimes need product specs or design assistance. Installers may ask for installation advice, instructions, or drawings, and service providers might need help with processes, testing procedures, and the like. Dealers fill an important role in this industry and we want to highlight some of them to talk about that role and how they can bring value to your project.
