Is A Septic System Going To Be Better?

Septic tanks are buried underground and collect wastewater from your household. This wastewater is then distributed through septic trenches. Septic tanks are not suitable for blocks under 8000 sqm, but they do not require quarterly servicing. Instead, sullage hoses are used to pump out excess wastewater directly onto your property.

Septic systems are commonly used in areas without access to a centralised sewer system. They consist of a septic tank and trenches. Wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and other household drains is collected in the septic tank. In the tank, solid waste settles to the bottom, creating a sludge layer, while lighter materials float to the top, forming a scum layer. The liquid effluent flows out of the septic tank and into the trenches for further treatment. These trenches are a network of pipes or chambers buried in gravel or sand, allowing the effluent to percolate into the soil.

Features Of A Septic System

  • Septic tanks are a concrete, fibreglass or plastic tank buried in the ground.  
  • The wastewater from your household is collected and distributed through septic trenches. 
  • Not suitable for blocks under 8000 sqm
  • Does not require quarterly servicing
  • Requires sullage hoses to pump out the excess wastewater directly on to your property

Household Sewerage Treatment Plant

HSTP’s, on the other hand, provide more advanced treatment compared to septic systems. These treatment plants are designed to purify wastewater before it is released back into the environment. They typically employ multiple treatment stages, including primary, secondary, and sometimes tertiary treatment. These processes eliminate contaminants, including solids, organic matter, pathogens, and nutrients, resulting in higher quality effluent.

Household sewerage treatment plants often require regular monitoring and compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Consulting with wastewater treatment professionals is advised to determine the best system for your property based on factors such as local regulations, site conditions, wastewater volume, treatment requirements, and personal preferences.

To remain compliant with Australian regulations, it is essential to have a qualified plumber with an onsite sewerage maintenance endorsement conduct quarterly testing on your system. The test reports must be sent to the relevant local authority as part of compliance.

Wastewater Treatment Systems

Understanding how wastewater treatment systems work is crucial. These systems use physical, biological, and chemical processes to remove contaminants from household wastewater. The initial treatment involves removing solids and larger debris through settling and filtration. Next, secondary treatment uses biological processes, such as aerobic or anaerobic bacteria, to break down organic matter and remove dissolved pollutants.

Finally, tertiary treatment focuses on removing remaining contaminants through disinfection, filtration, and advanced oxidation. The treated water is then safe for reuse in irrigation, ensuring public health, environmental protection, and water conservation.

We are experienced with acreage property plumbing solutions including storm water drainage for the property to ensure your HSTP remains working and compliant.
