    I'm at the information gathering stage so don't even know if this is a ridiculous question.Do all sewage treatment units require some electrical power input to function? I had never heard this mentioned in all the years I lived at home,yet any websites I have seen all mention some kind of power usage.??

    septic tanks do not

    effluent treatment systems do...


    whats the difference??? well, ETS have electrical agitators in them to aid digestion by aerobic bacteria, which need oxygen to breath.

    Septic tanks work using anaerobic bacteria, and do not need, and actually must do without, oxygen to work.....

    Your county development plan will state what system is required. Som ecounties demand ETS', while others may accept septic tanks depending on percolation test results and site characteristics.
