Home Sewage Treatment Plant Explained
A Home Sewage Treatment Plant or also known as HSTP in the building industry, is an integral part of any acreage build where access to mains sewerage isn’t available. You might recall the good old “Septic Tank”, however, HSTP is a far cry from those days.
Many of our clients over the years have found their perfect build location that is the whole package, beautiful views, far from neighbours and a wonderful little community nearby. However, due to the nature of acreage land usually being far removed from the city centre, there is often a limit on the infrastructure available such as sewerage and water.
This is why many Acreage builds require HSTP to be included as both a legal requirement and a matter of public health. The HSTP’s purpose is to safely treat all wastewater that exits your home. We know what you’re thinking but it’s ok, it’s all in-ground and odourless so no smells will disturb your new home.
