Harkaway Pressure Sewer Scheme

What we're doing

We constructed the Harkaway Pressure Sewer Scheme to reduce the use of existing onsite septic tanks on smaller blocks (under 0.4 hectares). 

We also engaged with customers on larger blocks on the periphery of the scheme to determine their interest in having the sewer extended to their properties enabling them to connect. The map below shows the final alignment of the new sewer pipes to be installed.

Properties under 0.4 hectares are eligible to connect under the scheme. Any properties over 0.4 hectares or vacant blocks don’t qualify for connection under the scheme, however can still connect if the property fronts the new sewer main for an additional fee.

If your property is within the backlog area and is less than 0.4 hectares, you will receive a letter from us in 2024 confirming when the Backlog Tariff Fee will be added to your bill.

See below for the project FAQ, information on costs, and our hardship policy for those experiencing financial difficulties.

When it's happening

We started work in early March 2023 and have now completed the installation of the sewer mains.

If you live in the area and would like to connect your property to the sewer network, please call our Connections Team on 1800 720 613 to schedule your connection.

All customers in the backlog area will now see the Backlog Tarriff Fee on your bill. For more information see the Know your costs fact sheet below.
