HI,
Can anyone offer some information or experience
they have had with septic systems on property.Regards. mpks
g’day
im in the process of having one put in on a rural property. expensive!!!!!!!!! abt 8 grand!
what do you need to know???
Same here. Ours looks like it will be $4,000 for the system and $2,500 for the house.
Water from shower going to grey water tank feeding gardens. The other wastes and overflow from grey water going to standard septic tank, then into absorption trenches.

Hi Mpks,
Just so happens I work for a builder (WA), who deals primarily with rural properties. I have also lived in a house with a septic tank and leach drain system. So, let me know exactly what you want to know, I’ll probably be able to help with comments on standard leach drain systems (including sump & pumps), alternative systems, eco-max, bio-max even compost toilets. I also know some ‘tricks’ to avoid maintenance problems etc.
Cheers
Kym

]Mark, what the hell are you asking about septic systems for ?? [

Cheers,
Paul…Have had septic systems for the last 20 years on four different properties, all rural, one of which we built. Never a problem. We’ve been here 4 years, don’t intend to move from this 80 acres near Maitland which has same type as previous places, with a transpiration area. They are now regulated by the council so you have to pay what they call Approval to Operate an On-Site Sewage Management System. It is currently $35 a year.We are in Port Stephens Council area and they do inspect the system which is not a ground watering type. Also, if you buy a place to rent out with a septic and it is a pump out, the tenants are responsible for the charge, say $25 a month or whatever is required. But that would be in a residential area in a rural environment as there is near here.
