Two Wells CWMS proposal
Open for consultation
We are seeking feedback from property owners in the proposal area. Consultation closes at 9am Monday 1 December 2025.
The original township of Two Wells currently relies on onsite wastewater systems to treat and manage wastewater. A high percentage of these systems are ageing and may be at, or nearing, the end of their useful life. When a system reaches this stage, they begin to not operate effectively and this will eventually result in the system failing, which presents risks to public health and the environment.
Currently, it is a property owner's responsibility to install, operate, maintain, service and replace (as required) an onsite wastewater management system. If you own property in the proposed area, you may be managing your wastewater via septic/soakage system or through an aerobic system (ie enviro-cycle). Your septic/soakage system is likely to have been installed before 1988 and if this is the case, it is at a high risk of failure due to its age.
The proposed CWMS would provide a collective system for the management of wastewater generated in Two Wells. The system would be owned and operated by Council, provide a long-term solution to wastewater, and protect public health and the environment.
A CWMS is a collective system for the management of wastewater generated in a town where there is no access to SA Water sewerage infrastructure. It comprises of a network of pipes and pumping stations which transport the wastewater (sewage) from individual properties to the treatment site (wastewater treatment plant).
The proposed CWMS is reliant on external funding. If Council is unable to access this funding, the proposed CWMS will not proceed.
