This article discusses how new membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology makes remote treatment of wastewater feasible for many communities, thus alleviating the need to expand old, centralized wastewater systems in an urban location where expansion can be disruptive and costly. The article discusses how MBR systems provide high‐quality treatment and offers three case studies of MBR satellite treatment facilities in Kissimmee, Florida, in Woods Valley, California, and in Park Place, Georgia.
