02 / Servicing
AWTS servicing and
maintenance.
An aerated wastewater treatment system (AWTS) has to be serviced on a schedule. It's a condition of your council approval, not an optional extra. We service all brands quarterly across Southern Tasmania.
Servicing keeps the system compliant, keeps the effluent quality where it should be, and catches the small faults before they become a tank full of trouble.

06 / Common questions
Wastewater
questions, answered.
What is an AWTS?
An aerated wastewater treatment system. It treats household wastewater on site to a standard where the treated water can be reused for irrigation, rather than just holding it like an old septic tank.
How often does an AWTS need servicing?
Quarterly. It's generally a condition of your council approval rather than a recommendation, and the service report goes to council.
Do you service all brands?
Yes. We're the Southern Tasmanian agent for Taylex and a Fuji Clean agent, and those are our preferred systems, but we service all AWTS brands.
Who deals with the council?
We do. Design, permits, approvals and communication are all managed as part of the job.
Can I replace an old septic tank with a modern system?
Yes, it's one of the more common jobs we do, including decommissioning the old tank. There's more detail on our septic tank upgrades page.
What happens if the system isn't serviced?
Effluent quality drops, faults go unnoticed, and you can end up non-compliant with your council approval. Failures tend to be disruptive and unpleasant in equal measure.
