Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

How do I know that the ground is capable of disposing of the effluent from my proposed septic tank?

Answer:

Independently verified percolation tests must be conducted prior to carrying out any works on the site. These tests will give an indication as to the grounds absorption capabilities.

It should be remembered that this is not an exact science but will produce sufficient information on which to decide the suitability of a particular sewerage system.
