The developer showed a strong preference for a vacuum sewerage system as he saw it offering significant benefits in this development over each of the alternatives. These benefits were identified as:-
- Ability to handle low flush toilets thus reducing the ultimate treated water disposal problem;
- Minimal impact on the landscape during construction with shallow trenches;
- Maximum water recovery for reuse in the re-vegetation irrigation system;
- Construction route flexibility thus minimizing the damage to vegetation;
- Ability to transport grey and black water in the one small bore pipe;
- Ability to safely lay all services in the one trench with minimal spacing;
- Zero infiltration and exfiltration;
- Ability of the system to service the entire site with one centralized pump station;
- Ability of the scheme to service the Boardwalk accommodation and even the boat sullage;
