Septic Tanks Newcastle

Newcastle, known for its stunning scenery and beautiful beaches, has a steadily growing population. We see a strong demand for septic tanks for those residing outside the Newcastle council boundary and surrounding areas. Fortunately, Taylex proudly offers our selection of home sewage treatment systems in Newcastle.

Over time, we have seen septic tanks become outdated technology, and in numerous regions, they are already regarded as obsolete. As we strive for a healthier and more sustainable future, Taylex is at the forefront of developing Advanced Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS). In Australia, the popularity of septic tank installations is declining as homeowners and businesses opt for new treatment systems. These systems offer advantages in terms of both cost and the environment, providing reassurance throughout the process.
