On-site Effluent Treatment (OSET)

The On-Site Effluent Treatment Regional Plan (OSET Plan) is a Bay of Plenty Regional Council plan that has been operative since 2006. 

It directs the management of domestic wastewater to protect water quality in the Bay of Plenty through the introduction of rules.  On-site effluent treatment systems include septic tanks and associated soakage fields and advanced aerobic systems.
