Matcham has no reticulated sewer. Every property runs a self-contained septic tank or aerated
wastewater treatment system (AWTS). Blockages, pump failures, and inlet filter clogs are the
owner's responsibility — and require a licensed plumber to service legally.

Matcham's 2–5+ acre blocks mean water supply lines can run 50–200 metres from the
meter or header tank to the house. Poly pipe degrades over time — UV
exposure, pressure fluctuations, and age cause joint failure and bursts.

There is no reticulated natural gas in Matcham. Every gas appliance — hot water, cooking,
heating, outdoor kitchens — runs on bottled LPG. Gas line installations,
compliance certificates, and bottle sizing all require a licensed gas fitter.
