DRINKING WATER
​

What is a "Small Water System"?  According to EPA and Mass DEP , whenever 25 or more people drink water from a single water the source, such as a well, river or reservoir,  that source is considered a Small Water System, as well as a Public Water Supply (PWS).  The owners of the PWS are required to  have a licensed water operator  monitor and meter the system, conduct regular & routine inspections, collect water quality samples and ensure the source is safe for human consumption. See our Drinking Water page for more information.   

    WASTEWATER
​

Simply put: when a septic system is more  complex than just a septic tank with a leaching field, then it is known as either a Title V system, an Innovative/Alternative (I/A) system, or a packaged wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Sizes of these systems then continue on to various municipal or city-sized systems. 

 

Small Water Systems Services, LLC operates a wide range of  Title V, I/A and WWTP technologies and sizes ranging from small residential communities to some of the largest, mixed-use shopping plazas in the state. From dependable, older technologies such as activated sludge plants and RBC's to the most efficient, current treatment processes, such as membranes with SCADA capabilities,  SWSS has the experience and technical  expertise to operate your utility safely and efficiently for years to come. SWSS's  operators can operate and service even the most complex and troubled plants. See our Wastewater page for more information.
