Gymwear7 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi all Just purchased a 4 acre small holding in Devon. Needs TLC and redesign on number of levels. 1st project - new sewage treatment plant! We are a family with 5 young children so just ticking off one project at a time. I'm a Pastor by trade not a builder but have found threads and advice on here v. helpful. Look forward to getting to know some of you! Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never had children so I’m not an expert but don’t the little people get bigger? ? Welcome Jim from a fellow Devonian self builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Welcome Jim from another Devon self builder, bring the questions on. Main issue with a treatment plant is where you discharge it. I am on clay and installed a Vortex which is allowed to discharge to a ditch that’s dry part of the year, a lot cheaper than drainage field and lasts longer.
