Enclosed type. I know there are at least four types but I dont have the information to share at the moment. Actually, I have the least worry about STP, drainage or cabling.... THey have shown enough credential as old team.
There was a point I was worry about the lake being used partly as retention pond. You see, basically in new township of this size, the developer has the obligation of knowing the infill rate and discharge rate of rainwater. After the development, they have to achieve the same. Lakes are being used to do the job i.e. to slow down the water flow due to excessive runoff (due to development). Will the lakes overflow? WIll the walking or jogging path inundated with rainwater like what happened in parlty of Western Lake and Central Park. Will thee be any culverts that come without provision of 'something' to prevent blockage of the culverts.
Well...I have no absolute answer what will happen in actual site when everything precint is UP and running.... BUT they dug the lake deeper to prevent such occurence in EM. At site, the lake is forming well. I saw piling work done on the proposed little bridge and also the gazebo. They look serious in making it happen well.

Yes, STP not really worry me.. as if there is some problem, whole township will be affected, not only the DSL unit. Furthermore, based on their experience, I presume they have no problem to handle such situation.
There are not only one lake to be used as retention pond. As you can see that, many retention ponds have been built in the surrounding, and based on the terrain, the sewage plant actually is at the lowest point if not mistaken, I think overflow problem is not crucial. Furthermore you have mentioned that they are digging the lake deeper, should serve the purpose. The terrain of EM is about similar to SEH, so far I don't see there are serious overflow cases there, though several retention ponds already being set up. I presume they have done serious consideration when implementing the environmental assesssment.
EM is doing his job effectively so far, no doubt on that...
