Testimonials
“We’re proud that Copperleaf will install the first Sheaffer System in the State of Wyoming. The Sheaffer System gives new meaning to the term ‘catch and release,’ because it catches wastewater, cleans it, and releases the treated water to be used again—100% on-site.”
- Bob Kudelski, Member, Worthington Group of WY, LLC
“We spent many months considering many different kinds of wastewater treatment alternatives. One reason we chose the Sheaffer System is because we feel it is a system of the future, because it is environmentally sound. We feel that the Sheaffer System is the best choice for the future of Thompson’s Station.”
- Cherry Jackson, Former Mayor, Town of Thompson’s Station, TN
“These systems, when properly designed, constructed and operated, do not smell, do not disperse pathogens, are not unsightly, are cost-effective, recycle water and nutrients, and eliminate point source discharges.”
- Phillip S. Bus, Executive Director, Kane County Development
“My overall evaluation of the system is that it is excellent. It meets or exceeds all of our expectations. We experience no odor problems and have never had to remove any sludge. We operate our system at a fraction of the cost of our standard-type wastewater treatment facility at our development in Florida.”
- Chuck Fanaro, Saddlebrook Farms Sheaffer System
“For approximately three years… we have done a lot of research on alternative sewer systems. We found the Sheaffer System to be the absolutely best option out there. We know we are the first of many developments that will be approved in the Nashville area and around the State using the Sheaffer System.”
- Glenn Wilson, Chief Manager, Southstar Development, L.L.C
“The project now includes a beautiful hotel, 15 office buildings (including one 27 story building), and seven man-made lakes. It is altogether a beautiful, park-like setting that includes paved walks, small bridges and outdoor patio dining for some of the offices. There have been no complaints from the EPA, from the users of the facility, or from the residents of the Village about odor or anything else. I refer to the project as ‘a plum that fell in our lap.’”
- Shirley Ketter, Former Mayor of Itasca, regarding the Chancellory Sheaffer System
“The land treatment-based reclamation/reuse system being established by Cortland, IL, appears to be a model project for providing wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate rapid growth that is privately financed by the new development. In this case, by incorporating nutrient recycling as a part of the treatment system, they also avoid adding nutrients to the Illinois streams and rivers that would be associated with the discharge from a more conventional approach to wastewater treatment.”
- Robert K. Bastian, Senior Environmental Scientist—U.S. EPA, Office of Wastewater Management, Washington, D.C.
“The Wynstone POA has successfully operated the Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse System that you designed since 1987.” “Homes are located on lots abutting the fence next to the primary treatment cell and line the golf course where the reclaimed water is irrigated. In fact, there are several homes within 500 feet of the primary treatment cell. None of the residents have ever complained about odors. Also, we have not removed any solids from the cells and don’t expect to for another 15 years or more. So the cells have performed as you said they would.”
- Steve J. Wilkins, Manager, Wynstone Property Owners’ Association
“The technology has been around for a long time, so it’s not new—but, it’s a greener, more environmental-friendly form of reusing water. The EPA has definitely guided us this way, and everybody is excited about getting it up and going. This will definitely be one of the models for the state. The EPA is anxious to get it going, so they can send other communities this way and look at what it is and how it works.”
- Bob Seyller, Mayor of Cortland, IL regarding the installment of Cortland’s municipal Sheaffer System in 2006
