Waste Water Treatment

Balmoral Tanks - Environmental Tanks - Continuous Aeration Plant (CAP)

Out here there is no mains sewage. Many older houses have septic tanks which basically just store the sewage and let the "effluent" gradually flow out .
These days you nearly always have to get a "proprietary treatment system" which makes the effluent cleaner and less polluting. Better for everyone - but a bit more cost for the builder. Then again - there are no annual water rates or sewage charges to pay to the local Council (yet) - so we will save that way.

At least the Balmoral site gives you prices - many don't.
There is a supplier about 25 miles from here - so we might well end up getting one of these...
