Menace Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Withe the imminent introduction of the new regulations governing the installation of foss septic. Can anyone answer a query on whether it is still possible to install a "cesspit/cesspool"; given that it is mainly a holding tank pending emptying by tanker when nearly full.Regards....Menace.

Val_2 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The only place you will get an answer on this is at the local mairie. They will, in turn check with the dept to see if cesspits are being allowed anymore and you may get a visit from your commune's technicien d'assainissement to take a look.

Moorejw Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Our local Syndicat des Eaux informed us that you can only have permission to install a fosse etanche (Cess pit) if there is not enough ground around your house to install any other system. We have a small cottage which has never been lived in, with a tiny handkerchief garden and they have informed us that a fosse etanche would be permissible. Whatever your situation your first call is to the Mairie for the application form which they send off to the SdE and they will then arrange to inspect your property and advise on possible solutions.

Menace Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Many thanks for your advice. As I thought, it will have to be a foss septic because of the availability of a rather large overgrown garden. Well, off to see the local marie next Friday.Denis (14) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
