Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a sewage treatment tank over a septic tank?
Sewage treatment tanks operate a filtration process which removes molecules and debris from water, making it suitable for reuse under certain conditions. However, septic tanks store wastewater but they don't treat it so the water is still contaminated and may contain pathogens which are hazardous to the human body and environment. Sewage treatment tanks provide treated water for reuse, reducing overall water consumption rates as well as keeping you safe.
Do I need a license for a sewage treatment tank?
Yes, whether you have a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant, you have to have this registered with your local Environmental Health Agency. When you reach out to the Environmental Health Agency, they will advise you on whether you require a permit or not.
What size sewage treatment tank do I need?
The basic rule of thumb for this is, for example, a three-bedroom house would require a five-person sewage treatment tank. With every additional room or person per household, the tank size should increase. If the capacity is exceeded, it will lead to the tank overflowing, releasing wastewater into the area which is hazardous to both human and environmental health.
