Managing Household Wastewater Mississippi State University fact sheet on septic tanks and soil absorption systems for household sewage and wastewater. This selfassessment of your household wastewater treatment system is an important part of the HomeASyst program. HomeASyst helps you evaluate conditions around your home that could threaten your drinking water quality. Please read this introductory information carefully before completing your selfassessment. You should complete this selfassessment if you use a septic system or similar system to treat household wastewater. This selfassessment is one in a series of voluntary selfassessments in the HomeASyst program. For a more complete picture of all activities and conditions that could affect your drinking water quality, review and complete the other HomeASyst environmental selfassessments available from the Extension Energy Center. You also are encouraged to review and complete other selfassessments in the companion FarmASyst program, available at your county Extension office.
