Washdown Bays questions
Washdown Bays for Adelaide businesses: what you need to know
These are the questions Adelaide business owners ask us most about washdown bays, answered by plumbers with 70+ years of local experience.
Do washdown bays need SA Water approval?
Usually. Washdown water is trade waste, so bays generally need approval and correct pre-treatment before connecting to sewer.
Which businesses need a washdown bay?
Transport depots, councils, mines, farms and plant hire yards that wash trucks, machinery or equipment on site.
What treatment does a washdown bay need?
Most need a silt trap and an oil separator, and some need a roof to keep rainwater out of the sewer.
Can you maintain existing washdown bays?
Yes. We clean silt traps, service oil separators and fix drainage so your bay stays compliant.
