Septic Tank or Sewage Treatment System?
If you are considering using a septic tank instead of a sewage treatment plant, make sure that the ground is suitable for a foul water soakaway drainfield, as over 60% of UK sites fail the mandatory tests that allow them to be installed or replaced. Either the Soakaway Trial Site Assessment Hole or Percolation Tests fail these tests, or, the property does not own enough land to enable a soakaway drainfield to be installed. You need a VERY large, treeless garden for a soakaway drainfield!
When you install a sewage treatment plant, the Soakaway Drainfield size required is reduced by 20%, which more than outweighs the additional cost of the Sewage Treatment Plant.
The installation cost of a sewage plant is also less than that of a septic tank, as the plant is smaller.
