Summary:This paper comprises a study to escort the design and management of a residential sewage holding pit near a local water treatment facility. The pit is designed to replace an existing waste dump area. The study consists of a discrete-event simulation for predicting performance, capacity, utilization and flow at pit and its support activities. The pit is designed receive residential sewage tank truck loads, hold it temporally, and then pipe daily accumulated loads to the nearby water treatment facility. Simulation turned out to be an excellent tool in the facility planning effort for the pit project, as it insured smooth flow lines of tank trucks load discharge and best utilization of facilities on site.
