| The sustainability of rural areas depends on effective wastewater management to reduce human impact on the environment, including the risk of pollution to surface water, groundwater, and soil from human waste. However, organized sanitation systems, which include pipeline networks and wastewater treatment plants in rural communities with low population densities, often have very low profitability and cost-efficiency, which greatly reduces their acceptance and residents’ willingness to pay. This study examines the economic profitability and cost-efficiency of selected on-site household sewage collection and treatment systems operating under real economic conditions in Poland. An evaluation was conducted on seven contemporary models of individual bioreactors, as well as a standard anaerobic septic tank equipped with drainage filters. Additionally, all options were tested on permeable and poorly permeable soils. For each variant, investment costs, as well as operation and maintenance expenses, were calculated. Financial evaluation utilized indicators of economic profitability and cost-efficiency, including the Payback Period, Net Present Value, Benefits–Cost Ratio, and Dynamic Generation Costs. The potential financial benefits included savings from avoiding the use of holding septic tanks and sewage transport by slurry wagons. All the studied designs of on-site sanitary sewage management showed significant economic feasibility and cost-efficiency. |
