Consolidated Utility District (CUD) of Rutherford County, Tennessee, provides sewer services to many of its outlying customers through an innovative system. The system being used is often referred to as a septic tank effluent pumping (STEP) system which consists of approximately 50 subdivision wastewater systems, all of which contain a STEP system, a recirculating sand filter, and a large effluent drip dispersal system. All of the systems are owned and managed by the Rutherford County CUD. The system allows for high density development (subdivisions) in areas of the county where city sewer is not available or soil types are not conducive to conventional septic tank and drain field lines. The 1,500-gallon septic tank is equipped with a pump and control panel located at each residence for controlled discharge of wastewater to a centralized wastewater collection system.
