Water treatment plant with "marking" in accordance with Document H

[Caroline]

Hi Folks

 

Building control has asked for this.  I sent them a photo of the new treatment plant which replaced the old building that was demolished and replaced with new building and sent them the manufactures specification of the water treatment plant, but think they want something, but not sure what it is.  Can anyone help please?  We are waiting for our final BC inspection.

 

Thank you.

Go back to the supplier/installer and ask for this.  It could be a tag or EN number.

Is this new potable water or waste water treatment. What does Document H actually say you need?

 

If doesn't ask for anything tell them it doesn't.

Yes it is new for our newbuild house.  I don't really understand the "Document H".  Hopefully, all will be well, I just don't think BC make it easy for self builders.  Probably okay for those who have project managers/architects to hand!

@Caroline Is it to do with this bit of Part H.

(3) Where a foul water drainage system from a building
discharges to a septic tank, wastewater treatment system or
cesspool, a durable notice shall be affixed in a suitable place
in the building containing information on any continuing
maintenance required to avoid risks to health.

If I remember properly, I read it that I would put a notice up in a suitable place , such as in a services zone, so that any future owner or maintenance orsin would have it explained. Ie just an explanation of the system. 

More formally it would also be in a maintenance manual, but that would get lost.

Post what they are asking for. 

 

One thing about dealing with planners and BC is that you can end up being a useful idiot. Some treat you as a bit of CPD on their CV! Some make the mistake of providing info that just opens a can of worms.. again you become a CPD candidate. 

 

Now actually I have a good relationship with the planners, BC, locally I have known some for 40 years or more.. when we just were kids. 

 

Think about the balance.. you want to be helpful but not too much in writing. If you can the best way is to lift that old thing called the telephone and have a chat.
