Beach Drive in Port Orchard is an established community of 210 homes in the Pacific northwest.
The Land
High groundwater set the stage for an E/One Sewer System.
The Problem
• High ground water
• Failing septic tanks
The community was faced with an urgent problem: septic tanks were failing, creating a serious health issue and impacting the oyster and clam beds of Puget Sound.
The Solution
The E/One Sewer System has saved critical time and cut the cost of replacing the failing septic tanks. The estimate for a gravity system was approximately $6,500,000. The E/One Sewer System is estimated at $3,000,000 — a 58% savings!

Port Orchard Today — A work in Progress
As the project moves forward, it is anticipated that adjoining neighborhoods confronted by the same septic tank problems will install E/One Sewer Systems.
Testimonial
"The Beach Drive area was declared a health hazard by the local Health District. We needed a feasible solution for 200 homes along 4 1/2 miles of shoreline containing a lot of rock and high water tables. We investigated several ways to do the sewers and decided on the E/One system because of the ease of installation, low cost, and its record of dependability. We have at least one other area like Beach Drive and will be using an E/One system."
