STED Scheme 

The Water Corporation operates a Septic Tank Effluent Disposal (STED) Scheme in the Bruce Rock townsite. 250 residential blocks situated between Dunstall Street, Johnson Street, Swan Street and Noonajin Road will benefit from this infrastructure.

The Scheme takes partially treated wastewater from household septic tanks through a pipeline to a disposal pond system managed by Water Corporation.

The STED Scheme project was completed due to overflowing leach drains in backyards and laneways which was causing health concerns for the community. The overflow was also damaging local infrastructure, including roads. The STED Scheme protects local infrastructure and the health of the community. It will also improve the overall environmental health of the area.
