What is a Holding Tank Sewage System (HTSS) designed to do?

A Holding Tank Sewage System (HTSS) is specifically designed to collect and temporarily store sewage until it can be transported to a treatment facility. This type of system is particularly useful in areas where conventional septic systems are not feasible due to soil conditions, water table levels, or other environmental factors.

The holding tank functions by receiving sewage from a property's plumbing, ensuring that the waste is contained until it reaches a sufficient volume for transportation. This design allows for proper management of sewage disposal by preventing overflow and ensuring that waste is taken to a location where it can be treated safely. While it does not treat sewage on-site or eliminate the need for treatment altogether, it plays a crucial role in managing waste in a controlled manner until it can undergo proper treatment.
