WWT Explains… groundwater discharges
In our latest WWT Explains guide, produced in association with Marsh, we look at groundwater discharges. New rules that outlaw discharging directly into a natural watercourse from a septic tank come into force on 1 January 2020. This guide examines the changes to the rules and options available to landowners.
The rules state that septic tanks discharging to surface water, whether a ditch, river or stream, must be upgraded or replaced with a new sewage treatment plant by 1 January 2020. The regulations are designed to reduce the level of pollution from sewage in the nation’s watercourses.
The guide covers the following topic areas:
How have the regulations on surface water discharges changed?
What are the options for site owners with a septic tank?
How do you choose which off-mains system is right for your site?
