General Binding Rules

New rules governing the use of septic tanks and small sewage treatment plants went into effect in January 2020. This applies to everyone in England who owns, runs or oversees such systems. The GBR 2020 was established to reduce the potential risk that septic tanks have on the environment and our health. While there are minor exemptions for septic tanks that discharge into the ground over those that discharge into surface water, there are still three main requirements that must be followed to comply with new laws.

  • Installation - All septic tanks within England are required to be installed as set out in the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
  • Maintenance – Septic tanks must be frequently serviced to prevent environmental pollution.
  • Waste - The waste must only be discharged into watercourses if it is treated to environmental regulations.
