Gravity Sewerage and Sewage Pumping

Property owner responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• the cost and installation of all infrastructure from the boundary kit to the house (as shown on the previous page) in accordance with our specifications
• the costs associated with any extension of the sewer network and/or new boundary kits. For any new boundary kit, the owner is required to pay the estimated sewerage connection fee before connecting the private drain
• ongoing maintenance of all infrastructure from the house to the boundary kit
• the cost of electricity to operate the pump.

Our responsibilities

• We own, install and maintain all infrastructure from, and including, the boundary kit to the sewer main.

If a pressurised sewer system is approved, the WSAA  Pressure Sewerage Code of Australia (WSA 07-2007) is used as the basis for design and construction of a system. We have some additional requirements which are detailed in the SA Water Supplement to WSA 07-2007.

The WSAA drawings cover the more detailed requirements and provide ‘deemed to comply’ solutions.
