Hi,
Just wanting to know peoples experience and opinions on the above septic systems, as I have always lived on mains sewage, so know very little about the above systems.
The country town where we are building does not have main sewage so we will have to have a septic system installed.
The majority of houses nearby and the quote advocate the sewage treatment plant which are all coming in around $10,500 upwards.
One old guy who lives local and Installs systems reckons Sand Filter systems are better as they are much cheaper and less maintanance to run. His quote was $5800, plus GST. He advised to get plenty of quotes, was not pushy at all and just seemed like an all out nice old guy.
As I said I don't know too much about septic systems, if paying nearly double for the Treatment plant system and then having more yearly costs on top, why would I? What is better about treatment plants?
Col
