Gymwear7 Posted June 22, 2020 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
Tennentslager Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Welcome Jim i wonder if 5 little people count half when sizing a treatment plant!
NSS Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Welcome. A family of 7. Yep, I can understand why sewage treatment would be a priority!

Expand 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.
joe90 Posted June 23, 2020 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.
Gymwear7 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Posted June 23, 2020 Thanks guys appreciate the welcome! - Joe90 - I also need to go to a ditch that runs 10 months - where do i start a thread for this ? thanks in advance Jim
