Expert AWTS Plumbers for Semi-Rural Properties
Living on acreage or in a semi-rural part of the Hills District often means your property isn’t connected to Sydney Water’s main sewer system. Instead, your home may rely on an Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS) to safely treat and disperse household wastewater.
At The Plumbing Paramedics, we’re licensed and experienced in the installation, servicing and repair of all major AWTS systems, keeping your home safe, sanitary and council-compliant.
What Is an AWTS?
An AWTS is a small-scale, onsite sewage treatment system that uses controlled aeration to break down blackwater (toilet waste) and greywater (kitchen, laundry, bathroom).
Unlike older septic tanks, these systems treat wastewater through multiple stages, aeration, clarification, and disinfection.
Then this water is safely releasing treated water into designated irrigation areas.
They’re ideal for:
- Acreage homes
- Hobby farms
- Lifestyle blocks
- Bushland or environmentally sensitive areas
- Properties without town sewer access
Our AWTS Services Include:

NSW Legal Requirements for AWTS Owners
Under NSW Health guidelines, all AWTS systems must be serviced by a licensed technician every 3 months, with service records maintained and submitted to your local council (e.g., Hills Shire Council). Failure to comply can result in environmental fines and contamination of local waterways or groundwater.
The Plumbing Paramedics are licensed to service AWTS systems and submit mandatory reports on your behalf. We handle everything — from documentation to disinfection — with zero hassle.
Why Professional AWTS Servicing Matters
A poorly maintained AWTS can result in:
- System overflow or irrigation failure
- Foul odours near the home
- Dangerous bacteria in water runoff
- Pollution of soil, creeks and bore water
- Expensive fines and costly repair bills
Our regular servicing checks aerators, filters, pumps, chlorinators and sludge levels to ensure your system remains efficient, compliant and odour-free.
