April 2025 First Friday – Alex Gamota – Building the Future, Wastewater Systems and Fiber Networks that enable Housing Expansion
In April, 3PO Networks Co-Founder and CEO Alex Gamota will show how his company partnered with a developer and municipality to approve new housing projects that had been stalled due to limited wastewater treatment capacity. The solution involved a private modern sewer approach that utilized an Orenco Systems PreLOS which reduces the amount of effluent that goes into the wastewater treatment plant and eliminates I&I (inflow and infiltration).
In conjunction with the wastewater infrastructure, a fiber-to-the-home network is being installed as part of these projects. 3PO Networks will own and operate both networks.
