Sewers2
What's New
Sewers2 is a major rewrite of the old Sewers software. A lot of the interface will look pretty much the same, but underneath it has been rebuilt to use a whole new framework for building septic systems. The new framework was necessary to accommodate the DEP's new performance-based componentized method of designing septic systems where you specify primary treatment, secondary treatment, disinfection, and discharge. For example, instead of designing an elevated sand mound, now you specify a primary treatment (the septic tank), a secondary treatment (the sand mound itself), disinfection (not needed), and a discharge method (the sand mound again).
Some other highlights:
- Full Vista and Windows 7 compatibility
- Moved data storage into your Documents folder
- New database system (was Paradox, now Access)
- Preferences now tied to personas
- Vector-based drawings (cleaner drawings, no "jaggies")
- More immediate feedback on the design as you progress through the design wizard
- Direct export of design report to PDF
- More organized structure of design report
- More supporting calculations exposed
- Slimmed down the file record
- Warning when designing for someone who has an unpaid balance
- New help system
- Easier updating of software
- It will be easier to add new system components as needed
- New message system to keep Sewers users informed
Features under consideration or in-process but not yet completely in the current version of Sewerrs2:
- Lift Stations
- Aerobic Tanks
- Puraflo Peat Filters
- Micro-mounds
