🌧️ STORM AUSTEN – CUSTOMER ADVISORY ⚠️
Storm Austen is expected to bring heavy rain and may cause flooding and power outages. Please take a moment to check your sewage treatment plant (STP) and prepare for possible disruption.
✅ Check your STP levels — If levels are high, limit facility use.
⚡ When power returns — An overfill alarm may sound if a scheduled pump-out was missed. Recheck levels before silencing the alarm. It should reset within 24 hours.
🌊 If flooding affects your area — Wait for floodwater to subside. Tankers may help reduce surface water or empty STPs.
🔧 Gravity-fed systems — Monitor levels. If the compressor stops, the system may temporarily operate like a septic tank and should correct itself once power returns.
📞 Need help? Contact our team for advice. We can arrange tank emptying or an engineer visit, if required.
Please stay safe and remain vigilant during the storm.
