Septic Tanks
Basic Septic Tanks only partially treat sewage and as their discharge effluent is very low quality, many authorities in the UK & Ireland prohibit their use. More advanced products, like Sewage Treatment Plant should be considered as the first option, as they offer a much higher effluent quality.
Septic Tanks may be installed (subject to consent) in applications where:
Soil is of suitable porosity. Link to video showing how to do a percolation test
Installation complies with Building Regulations (Approved Document H).
The installation will not contaminate any ditch, stream or other watercourse.
