I imagine a lot of people would dispute the theory its all based on as it
has to be a heck of a lot of years the old systems have operated and we do
not seem to have had any issues so far.

Sorry to be a pain but I was talking to someone this moring who said
that the EU ( them again!) were changing the rules on Septic Tanks.

I couldnt get out of him what changes exactly but he left me with the
impression ( worryingly) that my septic tank is now illegal but didnt
explain how or whay that could be .

How can they retrospectively legislate for speptic tanks installed 60+
years ago? Apparently it will stop me ever selling my house ( not that I
plan selling it) because I dont have something called a bio drainage
system ( a load of reeds stuck in a bed??? ).

Does anyone know about this and can they explain it properly for me
please?


It's not exactly new news as the changes were announced in 2015 to take
effect in 2020 (unless you sell before then). This may help - if only to
confirm the bad news
