Septic Tank Installations in Eastbourne
The cost of installing a septic tank in Eastbourne depends on a few factors, namely:
- the size of the tank itself
- the ground conditions where it’s being installed
- the access to the site
- the size of the drainage field required to suit the tank
The price for carrying out the provision and installation of a new septic tank in Eastbourne can cost between £4,000 to £7,000 depending on the above factors (these prices also include labour costs). Other price considerations may include the availability of access as well as your current ground conditions.
What is the difference between a septic tank and a treatment plant?
A septic tank separates solids and lets wastewater discharge to ground. A treatment plant treats the sewage to a level that is acceptable by the Environment Agency to be discharged to surface water. Treatment plants will have some kind of mechanical parts in order to safely perform this treatment, which means they typically require an electrical supply.
Do I need a septic tank or a treatment plant?
If you want to discharge to ground, it can be a septic tank or a treatment plant. A drainage field serving a treatment plant is likely to have a longer lifespan than a drainage field serving a septic tank due to the quality of the final effluent.
If you want to discharge to surface water it must be a treatment plant, for example, a ditch, stream etc.
What happens if my septic tank doesn’t comply?
Enforcement notices will be issued by the Environment Agency which can result in fines up to £150,000.
