STP Feasibility Checker
Find out how ready your project is to install a sewage treatment plant. Toggle six readiness factors — space, budget, power, reuse plumbing, an operator/AMC and consent — and get a readiness score out of 100 with the exact gaps to close.
Point weight of each factor — solid green = met, faded = a gap to close
Your readiness checklist
A larger occupancy raises the stakes of each gap — the readiness score itself is occupancy-independent.
Where your points come from
Each factor carries a fixed weight — the score is the sum of the factors you have in place.
You have 55 of 100 readiness points in place. Space and budget carry the most weight because a plant cannot start without either.
Close the faded bars — the unmet factors — to lift the score into the Ready band (80+).
3 gaps to close
- +15Reuse plumbing planned. Plan dual plumbing to carry treated water to flushing/landscape.
- +15Operator / AMC arranged. Line up a trained operator or an annual maintenance contract.
- +15Consent process started. Start the CTE/CTO consent process with the State Pollution Board.
How this works
- Each factor you toggle on adds its weight: space +25, budget +20, power backup +10, reuse plumbing +15, operator/AMC +15, consent +15 — 100 points in all.
- Readiness score = points in place ÷ 100. You currently have 55 / 100.
- Rating = 80+ is Ready, 55–79 is Nearly ready, below 55 is Not ready — gaps to close. You are Nearly ready.
A readiness screen for concept planning, not a substitute for a detailed feasibility study. Site survey, capacity sizing and statutory consents must be confirmed with a qualified consultant before procurement.
