Definitions

Definitions. 1. Advanced Treatment System – an Individual On-site Wastewater treatment system that complies with Section 41-67-10, Miss. Code of 1972, Annotated § 41-67-2(a). 2. Components – all physical, mechanical, and electrical components of any wastewater disposal system. 3. Distribution manifold – PVC pipe that delivers the treated effluent to the drip tubing. 4. Emitter – small labyrinth inside of drip tubing that eliminates pressure and releases drops of treated effluent. 5. Maintenance – the inspecting and evaluating of an Alternative System or Advanced Treatment System. The replacement of any component registered with a specific Advanced Treatment System (i.e., aerator, diffuser, control panel, etc.). 6. Subsurface Drip Irrigation System – a system that relies on advanced treatment and filtration of the treated effluent. Final disposal occurs in the upper limits of the soil horizon and is distributed through small diameter tubes that have emitters that slowly drip the treated water into the soil. 7. Tubing – a small diameter line made of a material that forms a tube which contains emitter and manufacturer’s fittings. 8. Vacuum breakers/air release valve – relieves pressure off the treated effluent and allows air to escape the system without causing damage.
