Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval for septic or effluent services in Coffs Harbour?
Yes, in many cases, septic and effluent systems in Coffs Harbour must meet local council regulations. Property owners may be required to maintain a service schedule, especially for treatment systems like EnviroCycles. Regular servicing helps ensure compliance and protects the environment. Always check with Coffs Harbour City Council for current guidelines.
How can I prevent bad smells coming from my septic system?
Bad smells usually mean your septic tank is full, poorly ventilated, or experiencing a bacterial imbalance. Regular pump-outs and avoiding harsh chemicals down the drain can help. If odours persist around your Coffs Harbour property, it may be time to schedule a full inspection and clean-out to restore system health.
Is waste from grease traps and oily water treated the same way?
No—grease trap waste and oily water require different treatment and disposal processes. Grease contains fats and solids, while oily water usually comes from mechanical or industrial sources. Both must be collected and disposed of by licensed operators to meet EPA standards and prevent environmental harm, especially in coastal areas like Coffs Harbour.
