Septic tanks explained
It is stated in Building Regulations that, wherever feasible, a property must be connected to the mains sewer, even if it’s through a sewage pump station, to eliminate waste and wastewater. Only if this is not possible you should consider managing wastewater within the boundaries of your property, and even then, it would be wise to get advice from a qualified expert before making a decision.
Septic tank
This tank is a common solution to the problem of no connection to the mains sewer and what most people think of. They are more advanced than a cesspit, which is used simply to store waste and requires emptying often, as they are able to partially process and discharge some of the waste collected. The tanks, which are placed underground in either a multi or single chamber design, utilise the force of gravity to separate liquids from solid waste.

Fluid flows from the tank into the drainage field where waste is left to seep into the ground, allowing for waste-degrading bacteria naturally to reduce the remaining waste. Soft solids and substances such as oil will rise to the top, while the heavier solids sink to the bottom, with sludge aiding in the breaking down process with the help of natural bacteria. However, a lot of solid waste will stay and accumulate over time, which is why septic tanks need to be regularly emptied by a registered waste carrier.
