At its core, this partnership reflects our values of collaboration, innovation, and excellence—principles that have underpinned every milestone we have achieved together.
20 Years of Partnership with Yarra Valley Water
For over two decades, our partnership with Yarra Valley Water (YVW) and Pressure Sewer Services Australia Pty Ltd (PSSA) has been built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to delivering sustainable water infrastructure solutions. This long-standing relationship has not only driven technological innovation but has also delivered measurable benefits for homeowners, communities, and the environment.
At its core, this partnership reflects our values of collaboration, innovation, and excellence – principles that have underpinned every milestone we have achieved together.
Innovation Through Partnership
Over the years, YVW’s confidence in our expertise has created the foundation for innovation. Together, we have:
- Developed the OmniSmart system: A cutting-edge monitoring and management tool designed to improve system visibility, performance, and responsiveness.
- Engineered the Omni Grind Turbine (OGT) Pump: Enhancing operational efficiency, this development has significantly improved the reliability of pressure sewer systems in challenging terrain.
- Designed the Enduraplex Tank: A robust, injection-moulded domestic tank that has become an industry benchmark for durability, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
These achievements are more than technological milestones—they are the direct result of collaboration, trust, and shared objectives with YVW and PSSA.
Delivering for Communities
The impact of this partnership extends far beyond infrastructure. By working together with YVW and PSSA, we have helped deliver community sewerage programs that improve the quality of life for thousands of households.
“Switching to a pressure sewer system has been a game-changer for our household. The system is efficient, low-maintenance, and provides peace of mind compared to our old septic tank.” Ross Goodman, Homeowner and Early Adopter
In the Dandenong Ranges, where traditional septic systems posed environmental and public health risks, our pressure sewer systems have provided a sustainable, long-term solution. The unique topography of the area presented significant engineering challenges, but with YVW’s backing and PSSA’s operational expertise, Aquatec’s solutions proved both reliable and adaptable.
This work has delivered:
- Reduced environmental impacts from septic tank leakage
- Greater resilience and reliability for households
- Improved health outcomes for communities
- A modernised, future-ready sewerage network
“Replacing septic tanks in the Dandenong Ranges has been essential for protecting our environment and safeguarding the health of our communities. Our partnership with Aquatec has ensured we can deliver these outcomes with confidence.” Julie Bright, Yarra Valley Water - Community Sewerage Program Manager
The Results
This 20-year collaboration has achieved outcomes that speak for themselves:
- Stronger communities: Homeowners benefit from modern, efficient, and reliable wastewater systems.
- Environmental protection: Sensitive catchment areas have been safeguarded through the removal of failing septic systems.
- Shared innovation: Breakthrough products and technologies developed in partnership have set new benchmarks across the water industry.
- Sustained trust: The longevity of this partnership underscores the mutual respect and alignment of values between YVW, PSSA, and Aquatec.
Looking Ahead
While we reflect on the past 20 years with pride, our focus is firmly on the future. The challenges of population growth, urban development, and environmental sustainability demand even greater collaboration and innovation. Together with Yarra Valley Water and PSSA, we remain committed to developing solutions that will serve communities for decades to come.
Our partnership with Yarra Valley Water is a testament to the power of collaboration. Through innovation, trust, and a shared vision, we have created outcomes that not only meet technical and operational goals but also deliver meaningful benefits for people and the environment.
As we mark this 20-year milestone, we celebrate not only the successes achieved but also the enduring strength of a partnership that continues to thrive and evolve.
“Aquatec’s pressure sewer systems are particularly well suited to the steep and varied topography of the Dandenong Ranges. Their reliability has been central to the success of these projects.” Mark Slade, Pressure Sewer Services Australia Pty Ltd – Managing Director
