[GBlist] small package wastewater treatment systems?

[Strawnet@aol.com]

Does anyone have experience with and recommendations for small package 
wastewater treatment systems - sized for individual homes?  We have a 
project for which we are seeking interim solutions to allow time for the 
development of a larger scale biological wastewater system to serve over 
a dozen houses and buildings. I know of and can find info on several 
different manufacturers, but would like to hear from those who have 
direct experience with them if possible.  In the short term we need to be 
able to deal with the wastewater for three houses and a couple of other 
buildings to get certificates of occupancy for them before the larger 
system can be designed and is up and working.  Eventually, all the 
buildings will be on this larger biological system. Any experiences 
and/or recommendations will be most appreciated.  

Additionally, I would love to know about state-of-the-art small scale or 
micro-hydroelectric systems if anyone has current info or knows who's who 
in that field.  My contacts and info are a bit dated and I want to be 
better able to analyze what is being proposed in that area as well.

Thanks in advance.
