															/Definition
What is a Sewage Treatment Plant?
A sewage treatment plant (STP) is an off-mains wastewater system that treats sewage through natural biological and mechanical processes. It removes harmful contaminants and produces clean, environmentally safe discharge—typically released into a watercourse or soakaway.
Modern sewage treatment plants are efficient, low-maintenance, and built to last. They offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional septic tanks, particularly in areas like Surrey, Kent, and East Sussex, where environmental regulations are stricter.
