The Smart Green Future of Sewage Collection


Vacuum Sewerage Systems are a low cost, environmentally friendly solution for property developers and towns looking to sewer or replace redundant sewerage infrastructure in difficult and expensive areas (primarily coastal areas with a high-water table). This may involve the replacement of septic tank systems or old gravity sewers.

Many environmental authorities no longer allow communities to remain on septic tank systems. These have been causing tremendous damage to the surrounding areas and impacting on the health of residents. Regulatory changes related to boat discharges have also led to new sewer systems at many marina precincts.

Imagine a system that reduces a towns reliance on electricity and can operate efficiently with water saving technologies. Which can reduce the risk of infiltration from stormwater and ground water. Which has low operational costs due to advanced monitoring technologies. And can be installed quickly with little disruption to residents and businesses.

Vacuum sewerage systems are widely accepted in over 40 countries. Weigh up what is important to you and it will become obvious why Flovac is receiving such wide acceptance.

Flovac are experts in the design, supply, installation and operation of vacuum sewerage systems.
