Wastewater treatment plants and lifting stations must be correctly serviced and desludged according to the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines,besides they are prone to breakdowns, and the price of repairing them can be expensive if not adequately covered. To help with this ever mounting cost (and to also help prevent breakdowns in the first place), AZU Water would like to suggest its own range of sewage treatment maintenance contracts.

All three options give you the reassurance of our 24 hour, 365 (ex. public holiday) day priority customer helpline when you need assistance. We will send out a fully qualified and experienced technician to carry out the repairs quickly and efficiently
