Within the town, work is often connection and capacity related; a few miles out, properties are commonly off the mains sewer entirely.
Local focus
Working in and around Penrith
Off-mains systems
Treatment plants, septic replacements and drainage fields for rural properties outside the town, installed to the applicable discharge rules.
Surface water on clay
Where infiltration is poor, percolation testing determines whether a soakaway is viable before a design is committed.
Older town drainage
Victorian clayware systems around the town centre are prone to displaced joints and root ingress, which repeated clearing will never fix.
Penrith — common questions
Yes. A large part of the work around Penrith is on rural properties, farms and village plots in the surrounding Eden district, where restricted access and off-mains drainage are common.
