What is a Septic Tank?
A septic tank provides a traditional solution to sewage disposal needs for dwellings without access to mains drainage.
Basic septic tanks only partially treat sewage and discharge effluent of low quality.
Septic Tank Regulations now stipulate that ...
Homeowners with septic tanks that discharge directly into ditches, streams, canals, rivers, surface water, drains or any other type of water course will need to replace or upgrade their drainage either when they sell their property or as soon as possible.
What is a Sewage Treatment System?
A sewage treatment plant works by removing contaminants from wastewater and household sewage by circulating air within the unit to encourage the growth of bacteria to break down the sewage. Sewage treatment plants are installed where access to a mains sewer is not viable and are designed to produce a more environmentally cleaner, high level of water discharge quality.
Domestic sewage treatment plants are used when it is not possible (or legal) to install a compliant septic tank. Tanks Direct have put together a detailed guide on sewage treatment plants for you to read here.
