Taking effect in 2020, there has been a change in legislation meaning that certain types of drainage systems involving Septic Tanks will no longer be permitted.
There are a lot of properties which currently have Septic Tanks that discharge into a local watercourse (instead of to a soakaway system or drainage field) and as of January 1st, 2020, this is no longer legal.
However, as a result of the much cleaner wastewater that leaves a Sewage Treatment Plant, you can discharge the wastewater from a Sewage Treatment Plant straight into a local watercourse.
If you would like further information, please talk to a member of our team today.
The first step in upgrading is to remove your current Septic Tank. We are fully equipped to remove your septic tank and to provide you with a Sewage Treatment Plant.
A Sewage Treatment Plant may be more cost-effective than you realise, as well as being far superior in terms of cleanliness and environmental friendliness. Sewage Treatment Plants may not be as big you may imagine either and are similar in size to your typical Septic Tank.
As well as being a possible legal requirement, there are many benefits to upgrading. As the wastewater released from Septic Tanks is not treated, there is often an unpleasant odour in the area where the wastewater is released.
By contrast, as the wastewater released from a Sewage Treatment Plant is treated, this is not an issue and of course there is less of an impact on the environment.
