Most of a wastewater system is underground and if it is working well, the only sign that it is there should be green grass where the wastewater is being dispersed.
If you are buying a property, have just moved into a property or are planning alterations to your house or landscaping, you may wish to know exactly where your wastewater system is located. Putting in a new circular driveway loses its shine if wastewater leaks to the surface after it is completed because you placed it over the existing system.
Council may be able to assist you by providing plans of the installed system or conducting an inspection to try to determine the location of the tank and/or the effluent disposal area for you. As some systems were installed prior to the permit system being in place, we cannot guarantee that we will have access to a plan, or an accurate plan, of the system. In some cases, even an inspection may not result in a definite location for you.
