Frequently Asked Questions
Are septic systems common in Bellingen homes?
Yes, many homes and rural properties in Bellingen rely on septic systems, especially those located outside the town centre. These systems are ideal for off-grid living but require regular pump-outs and maintenance to stay effective. Regular servicing helps prevent blockages, system failure, and contamination of nearby soil or waterways.
What happens if I delay effluent removal?
Delaying effluent removal can lead to unpleasant odours, soggy ground near the tank, and even waste backing up into the home. In rural areas like Bellingen, this can also impact gardens, paddocks, or surrounding bushland. Routine pump-outs help prevent these issues and keep your system working safely and efficiently.
Do I need oily water removal on a small property?
If you’re operating a workshop, machinery shed, or wash bay — even on a small property — you may still need oily water removal. Wastewater containing oils or grease can’t legally be drained into the soil or waterways. Licensed removal ensures the waste is safely transported and disposed of in line with EPA regulations.
