What Is An On-Site Septic System?
Did you know that the goal of each sewage treatment and disposal system is to protect the health and well being of humans and the environment? There are many different names for such a vital operation that really mean the same thing, a Septic System. The U of M program for Certified Septic Professionals will refer to a septic system as a Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (SSTS). It can also be called an Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS), On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) and many more variations on the name. CSI Custom Septic, Inc. is a Licensed Septic Services Provider that understands all of the lingo, the importance of maintenance and how different types of Zimmerman MN septic system work.

This Organic Sewage Disposal and Treatment System provides and effective process for killing off, disinfecting and removing contaminants as the waste water travels through the entire system. Most Zimmerman MN septic systems have one or more water tight septic tanks that collect all human waste and waste water that is generated from the home.
