Infrastructure

A large part of the residential area of Taylors Beach is not serviced by Hunter Water Corporation. People who live in these areas are dependent on rainwater collection to provide their drinking water. As well as pumping bore water to provide non-drinking water. Sewage disposal is done by either having a pump-out system in which the sewage is collected by a tanker truck or by the use of an absorption trench.

Despite this, all other essential utilities are available to Taylors Beach residents including Electricity, phone and internet access.
