Santa Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We have a piece of land with 2 ponds, a stream and a well. We have sited our mobile home on the land [asked the Marie first!] but have trouble in finding info on a type of fosse that we could install. Our problem is that none of our land is more that 35 mtrs from a water supply. Is there a simple system that would conform to modern requirements, but may suit our situation? We use it for holidays only so the use would be minimal. [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jxedwards Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Look at www.neve.frWe have installed the T5 which is the smallest version. It has been running 6 months now and no real issues.The waste water is supposed to be 95% clean and you are able to route to a stream river.There are variations on this type so I have been 'told'.

La Guerriere Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Did the outlet from the T5 go into a soakaway or into a watercourse ? Any price indication ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jxedwards Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 T5 outlet went into a 'soakaway' of sorts.6,000 euros approx it took the contractor 3.5 days to complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBME Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Take a look at this site for information regarding septic tanks and sewage treatment plants explanations/alternatives. www.wastetech.bizThey have a section on France regulations etc.I think you need to get an application from the Marie and the system proposed approved by spank.Tread carefully as the systems needs to be inspected by the spank peridoically for output quality, which in your case being close to a water course needs to be A1. to comply with the current regulations. The quality of the discharge is your legal responsibility.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Guerriere Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 We were chatting this over with the bureau d'etudes last weekend, and the 35m limit applies to any well or spring used for human consumption. With a bit a shoving and pushing we should be able to get our epandage far enough away .... it may however need a lift pump to get the water from the fosse uphill .... but that's another story.
