[[Septic_Tanks|Septic Tanks]]

| Residential or commercial sources with a population loading of less than 25 people<br/>
| Low - Can be constructed using local materials and labor<br/>
|
Needs to be de-sludged every 3 to 5 years<br/>

| Moderate - Can reduce 40% to 60% of pollution loading<br/>

[[Sewage_Lagoons|Sewage Lagoons]]

| Small community or institutional sources, such as hospitals. Must be located well away from residential communities due to potential for odors and nuisances<br/>
|
Low for areas where available land is plentiful and low value<br/>

|
Low - Systems still require routine operation and maintenance tasks such as monitoring, weed and trash removal, scum and biosolids management<br/>

| Can be very effective as primary treatment devices. May also be designed for secondary treatment<br/>

| Residential or commercial facilities with a population loading of between 25 and 200 people<br/>
| Low - May be constructed with local materials and labor<br/>
| Low - Periodic desludging is required<br/>
| Good - Generally better performance than septic tanks.&nbsp; Can remove 75% of the pollution load<br/>

[[Biogas_Systems|Biogas Systems]]

| For animal manure or other high strength waste.&nbsp; Can be used for small community systems that combine waste from fish and animal operations, people and commercial activities<br/>
| Moderate - Some systems require tight specifications on construction<br/>
|
Moderate - Take care to ensure the source wastewater is free of chemicals or disinfectants which can kill microbes that produce biogas<br/>

|
Ineffective for human waste only.&nbsp; When waste includes animal manure, may produce enough biogas to meet cooking fuel demands
