New Septic Tank Regulations 2020
Under the New Environment Agency General Binding Rules, if you have a septic tank that discharges directly to a surface water (ditch, stream, river etc.), you must replace or upgrade your septic tank system by 1st January 2020 or before that date if you are selling your property. You can either swap your septic tank for a sewage treatment plant or install a drainage field (this will take water from the septic tank and disperse it safely into the ground without causing pollution).
Abacus Groundworks specialises in providing the best solutions for a
wide range of outlets where mains drainage is not available.
We also ensure you gain all relevant approvals from the necessary
agencies including lawful discharge licenses from the Environment Agency
and Building Control approval from your local authority for any new
installation.
