How effective will the mound system be at removing faecal contamination?
The Australian standard (AS1547:2000) for domestic onsite wastewater systems recommends mound type systems for high ground water table areas. Scientific studies have shown that mounds are effective in helping to treat and minimise faecal contamination from septic systems. The design of the mound minimises the infiltration of effluent in dry and wet conditions due to its size, shape and construction. They are therefore far superior to a traditional below ground septic system.
