All properties that aren’t provided with council or water authority services need some means of disposing of their household liquid waste, from the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet. These are known as ‘un-serviced sites’ and may be suburban, urban or non-urban sites.
The waste disposal must be contained within the property boundaries and be of a capacity to function correctly.
Waste water disposal systems can be in varied forms, such as Septic Tank with soakage trenches, Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS) and composting systems. Determining the soil type is necessary when designing a suitable system, to measure how well the sub surface will absorb the treated liquid waste.
This is why a wastewater design is necessary.
Generally your wastewater designer is also your soil tester for the building footing design.
It is always advisable, for cost saving, to have both tests carried out within the same site visit. If your soil tester knows your site in un-serviced they generally will ask if you want both tests at the same time.
If your adding bedrooms to an existing house you will be required by council to have the existing system checked and calculations carried out to see if it is suitable or requires upgrading.
Talk to your Wastewater designer about your requirements.
