On Site Sewerage Management Plan

Last modified: November 10, 2009 - 4:35 AM

Effective management of domestic sewage and wastewater is an important consideration for the public health of Jerilderie Shire Council residents and the environment. It requires the active involvement of both the Council and landholders.

Management of sewage on-site will not be seen as the simple disposal of an unwanted nuisance. Wastewater, including the nutrients and organic matter it contains, will be managed appropriately and used whenever possible.

This Management Plan has been developed to help Jerilderie Shire Council assess, regulate and manage the selection, design, installation, operation and maintenance of on-site sewage management systems. The Plan may also be useful to householders, developers and others who wish to reside in the Jerilderie Shire Council area.

This Management Plan draws upon the principles, technical data and overall advice contained in the publication “Environment and Health Protection Guidelines - On Site Sewage Management for Single Households”[1][1]. This publication is available at Jerilderie Shire Council office.
