ATU septic systems (Aerobic Treatment Units) are a council-approved wastewater treatment solution for properties across Perth and Western Australia. These systems use oxygen-based treatment to break down wastewater more efficiently than conventional septic tanks, producing higher-quality effluent with reduced environmental impact.
In Perth, ATU systems are commonly required for properties with limited space, high groundwater levels, or specific council and Department of Health WA regulations. At SAGGERS Wastewater & Civil Solutions, we specialise in the installation, servicing, and long-term maintenance of ATU septic systems to ensure compliance, reliability, and environmental protection.
An Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) is an advanced wastewater treatment system that uses aerobic bacteria and mechanical aeration to treat household and commercial wastewater. This process produces clearer, cleaner effluent compared to traditional septic systems, reducing risks to soil, groundwater, and nearby waterways.
ATU systems are designed to operate efficiently on smaller properties and in environmentally sensitive areas. They require smaller leach fields and are commonly used where conventional septic systems are unsuitable due to site constraints or regulatory requirements.
Regular inspections are essential to maintaining your ATU’s efficiency and longevity. At SAGGERS Wastewater & Civil Solutions, we recommend conducting ATU readings every three to six months, tailored to your system’s design and usage levels.
Our team is equipped to manage sludge build-up, which can impact the treatment process, ensuring your system remains in top condition. With our comprehensive maintenance plans, you can rest assured that your ATU is in professional hands.
Proper installation is critical to your ATU’s effective operation and compliance with local health regulations.

An Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) is a wastewater system that uses oxygen-fed aerobic bacteria to rapidly and efficiently break down household wastewater. Unlike traditional septic tanks that rely on anaerobic bacteria and produce stronger odours and less treated effluent, ATUs generate clearer, safer effluent suitable for uses like garden irrigation.
ATUs process wastewater in several stages:
