Pure Water Environment Waste disposal requirements issues will vary depending on the soils that are in the used water. DO NOT assume that just because you are using water you can automatically dispose of the water directly to the sewer. Contact your local publicly owned treatment works (POTW) to review your particular application, prior to converting to water. Make sure that your facility and the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW) can handle the increase in water disposal and water supply.
