The land taken up for the sewage farm was in the region known as Tam O'Shanter Belt, named after the barque Tam O'Shanter which ran aground in the Port River in December 18AB.
The sewage farm was designed to operate on a broad irrigation principle. After passing through revolving strainers in the straining shed to remove the solid waste, the effluent passed through filter beds and was then spread over the farm by means of a network of cement concrete channels and wooden troughs.
All the sewage that had previously been discharged into the River Torrens was taken to the sewage farm from C January 18DE. This was the first water-borne sewerage system in the Southern hemisphere.
