Cleanwater Farm was built to solve problems that anyone in the onsite wastewater business already knows too well.
Waste keeps piling up, regulations are tightening, land application is becoming harder to get permitted and municipalities are making it harder to dump loads. For waste haulers, it’s a real operational and financial headache.
The team behind Cleanwater Farm saw a problem they couldn’t ignore.
In the past, the standard method was land application. Trucks would haul septic or portable toilet waste out to fields and spray it. Simple in theory, but messy in practice. PFAS and other bad actors make that not possible anymore.
On top of that, growing cities and towns can’t keep up with the infrastructure demand. With some municipalities even restricting new building permits. It’s created a need to think outside the box in the wastewater industry.
Relying on municipal wastewater plants wasn’t sustainable. Capacity limits and rake hikes threaten their ability to run operations effectively. Good business doesn’t mean raising rates on customers every time the municipality raises theirs on haulers.
Land was another challenge. Early plans to set up near urban areas ran into pushback from neighbors who didn’t want a waste processing facility nearby.
The message was written on the wall: a new way was needed to handle waste efficiently and responsibly.
By taking control of the entire process, the Cleanwater Farm solved multiple problems at once. Now operations aren’t dependent on municipal schedules or permits, waste gets processed efficiently and responsibly, and byproducts become useful resources.
Cleanwater Farm is proof that taking matters into your own hands can pay off. The farm was created out of necessity, refined through real-world experience, and built to handle the kind of challenges septic professionals face every day.
