Soakwells are underground stormwater management systems designed to collect runoff from roofs, driveways and paved areas and safely disperse it into the surrounding soil. In Perth, they play a critical role in managing stormwater on-site, reducing surface water pooling and preventing flooding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a soakwell?

A soakwell is a system that captures stormwater from your roof and slowly releases it back into the ground, preventing runoff into gardens, driveways, and roads.

What are the council requirements for stormwater detention?

Most councils mandate that properties capture and store at least 2,000 litres of water from the roof, with a minimum of 60% of the roof area directed to the stormwater detention system. Requirements can vary, so we assist you in ensuring your plans comply with local council regulations.

Can soakwells be used for water reuse?

Yes, some soakwell systems can be connected to detention tanks, allowing captured rainwater to be stored and reused, which is an excellent way to conserve water and reduce utility costs.

What is an ATU, and how does it differ to soakwells?

An ATU (Aerobic Treatment Unit) treats household wastewater using oxygen. Soakwells handle stormwater from roofs and hard surfaces.

They are separate systems and must not be connected. If you’re exploring wastewater treatment options, learn more about our ATU septic systems here.
