pauldoc Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm trying to decide where to place the treatment plant for the drainage plans. The preferred place is going to be the furthest distance from where the emptying lorry would park. Does anyone know the usual/max distance the hose from the tanker lorry reaches?

ProDave Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It also depends where you are in the UK. In Scotland, it only has to be 5 metres from a building or boundary, but must be 10 metres from a watercourse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldoc Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I haven't got a water course close by. There is already a septic tank on site but I don't think this will meet BR for the replacement property. I can place the new tank in front of the property but there is a spot to the rear that would be a neat solution. The tanker hose would have to reach around the garage but would be under 30m. Would this be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
