As
a homeowner you will be familiar with maintaining your home every now and
again, the same applies for your septic tank should you have one.
Under
new legislation, if your septic tank discharges to surface water, you will need
to install a small sewage treatment plant which cleans the liquid before it
goes into the river or stream. This must
be completed before 1st January 2020, or when you sell the
property, whichever is soonest.
Your
septic tank must be maintained correctly. If the tank becomes a problem for
other members of the public, your local council or authority can and will get
involved, insisting that it be properly cleaned. If you have a permit for your
tank, this will also outline set conditions that you will have to make sure you
meet.
To
meet these conditions, GOV.UK guidance explains that your should make sure the
septic tank is emptied at least once a year by a registered waste carrier, here
