Why "Good Enough" Isn't Enough For Wastewater Treatment

Operating a facility is no small task, and for many plant managers, it may seem like there is always something that needs to be improved or for better operations. Technologies are constantly changing, and sometimes it is hard to cut through the noise. It can be easy to stay with “the way we’ve always done things” and stick with good enough. It's easy and it doesn't require changing culture, process or technologies.

However, when it comes to wastewater treatment, it can be risky to settle for good enough. Good enough in your wastewater treatment could mean risking non-compliance, hauling accidents, high energy costs and utility surcharges, bad public relations, and more. 

Sometimes good enough just isn't enough, and sometimes the benefits of being the first to make a change are more than worth the risk. The following is a more in-depth look into why no action can bring more risks than rewards and how you can make a positive, sustainable change with wastewater treatment that can actually cut your expenditures.
