The project would earn 2 points for treating 100% of wastewater on-site to tertiary standards.

One issue with packaged biological wastewater system to treat wastewater onsite is they have high initial costs.

Building energy costs would increase because these types of systems require energy to run.

The water could be used in the landscape. Tertiary treatment, or advanced treatment, removes specific residual substances, trace organic materials, nutrients, and other constituents that are not removed by biological processes. Tertiary-treated recycled water is safe for all human contact, except drinking.

Wastewater treatment systems will most likely not treat stormwater.
