a better option

The PDF link below takes you to a slide show presentation of an alternative to a large conventional drain field, a Treatment Plant Tank (TPT).. We are not endorsing this particular company or specific solution. However, we are sharing this information to demonstrate that there are options that should still be considered.

• If you do not want to review all the engineering details, we suggest you scroll to pages 18, 19, and 20 as they show how much less expensive a Treatment Plant Tank system is compared to the current Sewer Board proposal for a large drain field..
• Page 21 explains why alternative locations identified in the original engineering report should be reconsidered as they are less expensive and safer than a treatment site >3 miles from Cooke City.
• The  Sewer Board website has a link to one TPT company's presentation. This talk, though informative, does not address comparative costs or alternative treatment  locations: https://ccsgsewerdistrict.com/aqua-tech-systems-presentation/ The company making the presentation is not yet licensed in Montana but other similar companies are.
• The Preliminary Engineering Report posted on the Sewer Board’s website includes extensive details about the proposed project under the heading Documents: https://ccsgsewerdistrict.com.
