It depends where the septic tank discharges to if its to a soakaway field then the General Binding Regulstion 2020 as they are properly called, dont apply.
They only apply to tanks which go direct to a dry ditch or watercourse. However if you replace the septic tank with a packaged treatement plant this can discharge directly to a watercourse , but not a dry ditch. A septic tank is a multi chamber structure were waste water enters the first chamber settles and then flows to the second and third chambers before discharging. The settled solids in each chamber encourage the growth of microorganisms which "eat' the poo and clean up the water before it discharges. Never flush chemicals into one or fully empty it as the bugs are needed for it to operate. A packaged treatement plant comes in many formats , but basically is a powered unit that uses aeration to clean the waste water before it discharges. A cesspit is a holding tank for the waste water, has no outlet and needs regular emptying . Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Last edited by sewerman; 17th April 2021 at 11:15.. |

"A septic tank is a multi chamber structure were waste water enters the first chamber settles and then flows to the second .......") but then you say "A septic tank is a holding tank for the waste water, has no outlet and needs regular emptying " macafee2 |

Cesspit and cesspool are often use to mean the same. I suppose historically a pit could be man made and a pool a natural feature and over time the pit became covered. A soakaway field has a series of perforated pipes normally in a herring bone pattern close to the ground which allows the water from a septic tank or treatement plant to soak back into the ground. Sometimes called an infitration trench or field. Yes 36 yrs as a civil engineer designing sewerage systems. Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Last edited by sewerman; 17th April 2021 at 15:21.. |

Heres a link https://www.gov.uk/permits-you-need-...-binding-rules As you can see they refer to cesspools not cesspits , as I said before they have become interchangeable . Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Last edited by sewerman; 18th April 2021 at 17:56.. |

Absolutely. They're suing the solicitor that carried out the conveyancing.
