Strawberry grower Van Aert provides temporary accommodation for his seasonal workers and six mobile homes. The domestic waste water from this is collected and purified by a Phytoair of 8m x 5m for 50IE. The effluent from the aerated helophyte filter is discharged into the stream.
This Phytoair was in operation for 5 months at the time of the measurement by the Brabantse Delta Water Board in September and is producing very good results.
