Important Information about the laws around Septic Tanks for 2020
To ensure that your septic tank is complying to the British standard, you must first ensure that your septic does not discharge into a watercourse, river or stream. If it is discharging its water into one of the above, then you’re required to change the way the septic tanks deals with its waste.
Option One:
Replace your septic tank for a sewage treatment plant.
Option Two:
The land around your property could act as a drainage field rather than using a watercourse.
To ensure that your property is suitable for use as a drainage field, you must first ensure that the water absorption rate is high enough to sustain your waste water. A percolation test (perc test) will be required to ensure that the ground is suitable for this.
