On-site Sewage Management System Inspection Checklist

This on-site sewage management system inspection checklist helps councils, inspectors and property owners evaluate septic tanks, disposal areas and AWTS components. Record system type, tank material and capacity, condition, scum levels, desludging needs and filter presence. Capture site details including distances to residences, boundaries and water bodies, stormwater diversion, soil type and slope. Assess absorption trenches, collection wells, irrigation areas and sprinklers, plus aerator and pump operation. Note service provider details, last service date, required work and obtain sign-off to support compliance and maintenance planning.
