E/One Sewer System Case Study - Locke, California

Challenge:
Locke is an historic, Chinese-settled town south of Sacramento. The original sewer system, built when the town was founded in 1915, transported wastewater to a septic tank and onto treatment ponds.

• An antiquated, undersized sewer system discharged to a community septic tank
• Sewage often flowed to an open field instead of treatment ponds

Solution:
E/One Sewers eliminated the odor problems cited by residents and still protected the historic character of the town
