Frequently Asked Questions
Do rural properties in Dorrigo need more frequent septic servicing?
Yes, many Dorrigo properties rely solely on septic systems and may have larger households or higher water usage. Without regular servicing, systems can become overloaded, leading to odours, slow drains, or overflows. Scheduling a clean-out every 3–5 years, or more frequently if needed, helps prevent issues and ensures long-term system performance.
Is oily water harmful if not removed properly?
Absolutely. Oily water often contains hydrocarbons, grease, and other pollutants that can contaminate soil and waterways if not handled correctly. In rural areas like Dorrigo, improper disposal can impact farming land and local ecosystems. Licensed oily water removal ensures the waste is collected, transported, and processed in line with EPA regulations.
Can I service my Envirocycle system myself?
While property owners can check chlorine levels or perform light maintenance, a professional service is strongly recommended. Envirocycle systems need routine pump-outs, component checks, and balance monitoring to remain effective. For properties in Dorrigo, regular professional servicing helps protect your land, stay compliant with council regulations, and avoid costly breakdowns.
