    1975 was when it was built. According to the seller who is dealing with probate, he didn't think the septic tank was ever emptied which was probably why when we raised concerns be had it emptied. The septic tank man who did the inspection thought this may have been why the soakaways weren't in great condition.

    If we can get clarification on whether the sewage treatment plant can discharge into the canal this may do away with the need for soakaways anyway. I am looking at non-electric sewage treatment plant options but there doesnt seem much info on here.
    You need to google it, its too specialised for a general forum like this one.there are companies out there who manufacture them, you will find information on their websites.

    When we moved house a couple of years ago, I recall having to produce some sort of certification for our sewage treatment tank. We also had it registered on the environmental agency site. Your solicitor should be up to speed on this and you should get them to cover all the requirements (they get paid enough after all!)
