How To Apply For A Septic Tank Permit
There are some binding rules that must be followed if you’re the operator of a septic tank system or small sewage treatment plant. This binding rules include the following:
✓ The sewage must be domestic in nature. For instance the scum, sludge and waster water should come from the shower, toilet, kitchen, laundry room etc. If you’re not sure if your septic tank is domestic in nature in nature you can contact the Environment Agency.
✓ The sewage must not lead to pollution
There are also some binding rules whether you release to the ground such as your backyard garden or to a surface water like a stream or river.
In the event whereby you do not meet the general binding rules, you’ll need to apply for a septic tank permit. Here, the form you’ll have to fill will depend on where you discharge your sewage and how much sewage you discharge.
If you discharge your sewage to the ground there are different forms depending on whether you’re in a groundwater protection zone (SPZ1). Outside an SPZ1, there are different forms if you discharge between 2 and 15 cubic metres in a day and if its over 15 cubic metres per day. While inside an SPZ1, if you discharge less than 2 cubic metres per day you’ll fill different forms for systems in use before 1st January, 2015 and systems installed on or after that date.
If you want to discharge between 5 and 20 cubic metres sewage per day to a surface water, you can apply for a standard rules permit. If you can’t get a standard rules permit, you’ll need a permit to discharge up to 20 cubic metres per day and over 20 cubic metres per day.
How Much Is A Septic Tank?
If you’re living in the rural area, then you’d have a better idea of the septic tank concept and know that it’s installation is a very common job due to difficulty in accessing the mains sewage system. The system takes care of all the scum, sludge and waste water coming from the pipes all around the house in rooms like showers, sinks, toilets, laundry room and more. There are a lot of factors that you’ll have to consider as they all affect the price of replacing or installing a septic tank system. These influencing factors include the drainage systems, the underground or overground location, material, your location as well as labour.
However, generally, the average cost of material for a medium sized septic tank would typically cost within the range of £600 to about £800, while a large septic tank would be around £1000 to about £1,200. What’s more? The average cost to install a septic tank system with the material cost,labour cost and waste removal cost at heart normally ranges between £1,500 to about £2,000.
The material used is also a very common price determinant. Concrete happens to be the most common choice for many homeowners due to the fact that it’s very affordable and also durable ( can last u to 30 years). Generally, the cost for concrete septic tanks should range between £600 to £1,200.
Another pocket friendly option is plastic septic tanks because of its light material. Although, it’s made of plastic but they’re not vulnerable to cracks. They may, however, be affected by soil pressure in harsh conditions. They price usually ranges between £700 to £1,500.
Finally, the more expensive option which is the fibreglass which comes with a number of benefits. They won’t deteriorate or crack underground and can last up to 50 years. This type normally cost within the range of £1,000 to £2,000.
What Is A Septic Tank?
Septic tank may be a very strange concept to many individuals, but to the households that make use of them - they’re crucial to several homes especially the ones who are not connected to the mains sewage line
A septic tank .is simply an underwater sedimentation tank which is incorporated for the treatment of waste water via a process called biological decomposition and drainage. The tank utilizes natural processes in conjunction with tried and tested technologies for waste water treatment. The waste water comes from household plumbing which are often generated by bathrooms and toilets, kitchens, laundry as well as drains.
Septic tanks usually possesses a very simple design. They are simply underground containers that are watertight ( usually round or rectangular) made of plastic, fibreglass or concrete. They normally constitute different compartments which is a T-shaped outlet to prevent the sum and sludge from escaping that tank and finding a spot on the drain field area.
Septic tanks are particularly useful for households with a poor drainage system or those that aren’t connected to the mains sewage system. They serve as their main source of safe waste water disposal. The tanks work by collecting waste water and excreta in one huge underground tank and they happen to be very common in rural and developing areas.
Septic tanks are typically fitted underground and 50 metres away from the building. For those that live in towns and cities, septic tanks are mostly not needed as the waste water is normally transported and taken care of by their sewage system is is maintained and managed by a local water company. If you own a septic tank, you have an extra duty to make sure that it’s existence doesn’t negatively impact the environment.
How Does A Septic Tank Work?
A septic tank system is an alternative to the mains sewage system whereby the wastewater is treated underground and is able to last for many generations. They’re mostly found in rural setting where there’s a lack of centralized sewer systems due to the difficulty in installing and managing them. These type of systems make use of the perfect blend of natural resources and advanced technology to treat wastewater produced from household plumbing. These includes the kitchen drain, bathroom, laundry room and more which all runs to the septic tank. When it gets to the septic tank, the organic matter will be digested and floatable matter alongside the solids are separated.
In this article, we’re going to give you a better understanding of how a modern septic tank works. Let’s take a look!
✓ All water stemming from your household goes straight into the main drainage pipe that lead directly to the septic tank.
✓ Meanwhile, the septic tank, which is usually underground and happens to be a water tight container, retains the waste water for a period long enough to enable the solid materials sit at bottom and start to dissolve. In the process, both oil and grease will float to the top as a layer of scum.
✓ Any wastewater that’s liquid will then leaves through the drainfield out of the septic tank.
✓ The drainfield, on the other hand, is a shallow excavation that’s made of unsaturated soil. The treated water is transported via the piping onto a porous surface which enable the filtration of the wastewater into the surrounding soil. The soil, in turn, treats and disperses the wastewater.
✓ Finally, the wastewater percolates into the soil for the removal of harmful bacteria alongside other contaminants.
