Taylex ABS concrete tanks are the premium on‑site wastewater treatment choice for new homes in Kilmore. Recently installed in a Kilmore build by R & F Building Industries, this tank offers unmatched reliability and environmental performance for properties not connected to mains sewer.

Mitchell Shire, which includes Kilmore, is a fast-growing peri‑urban area about 40 km north of Melbourne. Many new residential and semi‑rural lots require efficient, council‑approved wastewater systems due to limited sewer infrastructure.

Tailored to Kilmore’s conditions and planning requirements

Kilmore homes commonly face challenges such as clay-heavy soils, winter chill, and stringent planning requirements. The Taylex ABS concrete tank is built for these circumstances:

  • Durable concrete construction ensures long-term performance with minimal structural risk, even in clay soil conditions.
  • Concrete’s thermal insulation supports consistent biological treatment year-round, essential in Kilmore’s variable temperatures.
  • Underground setup preserves landscaping and is ideal for properties aiming for clean, unobtrusive installation.

Certified advanced treatment for peace of mind

The Taylex ABS system is an advanced secondary treatment plant compliant with Australian Standard AS 1546.3:2017. It delivers treated effluent that exceeds regulatory effluent quality requirements—typically less than 10 mg/L BOD and TSS and less than 10 cfu/100 ml E. Coli.

The system comprises five treatment chambers—primary, secondary, aeration with Bio‑Block media, clarifier, and irrigation—followed by a chlorine contact and pump chamber. Operating capacity is around 5,880 L for the concrete 1500 system, with plenty of emergency storage built-in.

It’s the same trusted technology used across Australia, backed by Taylex’s 50+ years of locally engineered expertise and authorised distribution through R & F Building Industries.

Environmental and practical advantages of Taylex ABS concrete tanks for Kilmore residents

A Taylex ABS system brings both environmental and practical benefits:

  • Water recycling: Treated effluent is suitable for subsurface garden irrigation—reducing reliance on mains water and supporting drought resilience.
  • Minimal noise: The system runs quietly and blends into residential settings with zero odour.
  • Bushfire readiness: Even during emergencies, the onsite system remains operational—ideal for Kilmore’s bushfire-prone surrounds.
  • Compact footprint: It fits neatly underground in landscaped yards, making it ideal for new home designs.

Compliance with Mitchell Shire Council standards

Mitchell Shire’s wastewater regulations require approved advanced wastewater systems on properties outside connected sewer zones. Taylex ABS is council-approved across Victoria and fully meets Mitchell Shire environmental health criteria. R & F Building Industries assist with council documentation, system registration, and ongoing compliance support.
