Septic systems – also known as onsite wastewater management systems – are installed to treat any wastewater produced on your property. Properties in a sewer district must connect to the reticulated sewer system provided by your water authority. If you’re not sure, call Central Highlands Water on 1800 061 514 or if you're in the Trentham region contact Coliban Water on 1300 363 200.
