Septic Tanks
Under the 2020 septic tank regulations (or 2020 General Binding Rules), which includes guidelines on both septic tank installation, emptying and maintenance, septic tanks can no longer discharge directly into a watercourse and must upgrade their sewage treatment plant system. The tank will also require replacement if the Environmental Agency (EA) finds that it is causing pollution.
In accordance with these regulations, your septic tank or sewage treatment plant must meet British Standards BS EN 12566, while any drainage field is required to meet BS EN 6297:2007 standards. The new rules aim to reduce the level of pollution present in national waterways by better controlling and regulating discharge requirements to a watercourse, such as when carrying out septic tank emptying.
