Upgrade of old septic system to AWTS in Mount Macedon

Located within the Macedon Ranges Shire, this upgrade of an old septic system in Mount Macedon involved upgrading an ageing septic tank system to a modern Taylex Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS).

The new system provides a durable, compliant, and reliable wastewater management solution with improved treatment capacity, enhanced environmental performance, and greater long-term efficiency.

Wastewater treatment solutions for rural properties

Older septic systems can become inefficient over time, particularly on rural and semi-rural properties where wastewater demands may change.

This Mount Macedon project upgraded the existing septic system to a concrete Taylex Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS), providing a more advanced wastewater management system for the homeowner.

The AWTS treats wastewater through multiple stages, producing cleaner effluent and supporting improved environmental outcomes compared to older septic systems.

By upgrading from a traditional septic tank, the property owner now benefits from a system designed to handle modern household requirements while complying with local wastewater regulations.
