Case Study: Assessment of existing on-site wastewater management system

Failing trench and antiquated septic tank

Brief: Earthwise Environmental (EE) was commissioned to undertake an assessment of an existing on-site sewage management system (OSMS) due its failure

Problem: A concentrated flow of primary treated wastewater was flowing to the surface. The old septic did not have a baffle and was not compliant to current Australian Standards

Challenge: Identify the reason why the absorption trench was failing and design a new OSMS

Action: EE outlined the design of a new OSMS in the report so that the client could lodge a section 68 approval form to local council and upgrade their OSMS
