Overview
The Alberta Private Sewage Systems Standard of Practice, Sub-Section 5.2.3., states treatment plants must be certified to the ANSI/NSF (the National Sanitation Foundation, an international public health standards organization) 40 Standard and have a Class 1 treatment capability.
A treatment plant not certified to that standard is not acceptable in Alberta. NSF International requires all distributors for a treatment plant manufacturer be registered with NSF as part of its certification program.
Installers of these systems are required to be trained and registered with their authorized distributor. Individual installers are not listed here, but the installer must be able to provide evidence of who their authorized distributor is and that they have received the required installation and maintenance training.
Tanks used for packaged sewage treatment plants shall be certified as meeting the CAN/CSA-B66 Standard, or the BNQ Standard NQ 3680-905/208, or a variance issued by the administrator of private sewage providing a tank equivalency.
Supporting documentation that clearly specifies that the treatment plant conforms to the standard and identifies the authorized distributor should form part of the private sewage permit application package.
The ANSI/NSF 40 Standard includes a treatment plant maintenance component. The treatment plant purchase price includes a 2-year maintenance program to be done at 6-month intervals.
Authorized distributors are responsible to ensure the required maintenance is completed. Maintenance of treatment plant is critical to the ongoing successful operation of the overall treatment system. A treatment plant that is not producing high quality effluent will cause the absorption component of the system to fail.
