All onsite domestic sewerage treatment
systems must be serviced as per the
manufacturer's recommendations and their relevant Local and/or State Approvals.
Most aerated type treatment plants require quarterly
servicing while sand filter models only require annual servicing.
Servicing is not optional - it is a mandatory
requirement of your Local Authority (council) and MUST be carried out at
relevant intervals.
Service agreements cover one year of servicing (whether
that be quarterly or annual) and are generally payable in full prior to or at the time of
the first service.
- Quarterly field service inspections will be made by a fully qualified and
experienced employee during the twelve month period covered. The following
items* will be checked or tested at each quarterly service:

outside the four calls specified above. This annual servicing agreement
does NOT include the maintenance of the irrigation area or repairs to any
part of the treatment system or the pumps. All repairs are on a strictly
C.O.D. basis. This agreement does not bind Coastal Wastewater Specialists
or it's duly appointed agent to be responsible for the quality of the
effluent. However, it will at all times, wherever possible, recommend how
the effluent quality can be maintained at its maximum and alter and adjust
the system during these regular visits in an endeavour to obtain the best
possible effluent standards.

contract to any new owner/occupier to comply with the relevant health
legislation.
- On completion of each service you will receive a
copy of the service report and another copy will be sent to your local council
for their records. This is a local authority (Council) requirement.
