The Castello di Amorosa winery opened in Calistoga, California, in 2007 with a series of large septic tanks and a pressurized distribution system of trenches with rock and pipe to handle its wastewater flows.

The new system, designed by R.E.B. Engineering and installed by Sakai General Engineering, is designed for 9,000 gpd and to handle highly variable wastewater
