The distance from the septic tank to the well - the

At the device on a site of cleaning system it is important to arrange it correctly. The optimal distance from the septic tank to the well is determined on the basis of regulatory documents, which contain a set of rules for the installation of external networks and facilities.

Regulations

The main documents at the moment are:

1. SNiP number 2.04.03-85, which spelled out the rules for the construction of networks and facilities for outdoor sewage;
2. Compliance with the requirements of SNiP number 2.04.02-84 will help eliminate potential problems with the well and the septic tank in one area;
3. SNiP number 2.04.01-85, which regulates the norms for the construction of internal sewage and water mains;
4. The location of a septic tank or a sewage well on the site is also regulated by sanitary standards, namely SanPiN number 2.1.5.980-00, this document sets out basic hygiene requirements and protective measures;
5. In the construction and operation of any structures, sanitary protection zones must be taken into account, as described in SanPiN number 2.2.1 / 2.1.1.1200-03.

It is these documents that need to be studied in the part that relates to the design of autonomous treatment facilities.

Autonomous treatment facilities

Today it is rarely possible to find wooden nesting boxes of toilet facilities in residential areas. Practical owners of modern country houses are trying to create maximum comfort for their households.

Yes, and manufacturers of construction equipment do not lag behind current trends. A wide range of ready-made devices that are already designed for a certain number of people living in the house is offered for installation by different companies.

Design

It should be understood that the installation itself is not so difficult, it is quite capable of doing it with your own hands. But before you install a finished structure or install well rings, it is necessary to prepare the project and coordinate it in the regulatory bodies.

Among the huge number of proposals for treatment systems for country houses, it is difficult to choose the appropriate option for your conditions. Often buyers are attracted by the price, and not to what conditions of operation a particular model is adapted.

It is necessary to choose the system taking into account the specific parameters of the site:

1. type of soil on the site;
2. groundwater level;
3. depth of soil freezing.

Only professionals in this field can competently solve the problem of choosing a cleaning system depending on the existing conditions.

Usually, before you design and select a specific model of septic tank, it is necessary to conduct detailed studies on the territory of your site. The project also determines the relative position of the well and the septic tank on the site. (See also the article Features of water supply from a well.)

Council It is important to understand that the septic tank needs to be cleaned periodically, though not very often. When designing a system, it is necessary to consider how special equipment will approach it.

Recommended distances

According to the norms, the distance from sewage treatment plants to other objects of human activity, including water supply sources, is determined by the presence of filtering soil between them. Depending on the composition of the soil and is determined by the distance.

Proper placement on the site of the well and septic tank is one of the most important moments. When placing them on the site, it is very important to achieve such a mutual arrangement, which prevents accidental ingress of untreated sewage into the aquifers. (See also the article How to clean wells.)

Even taking into account the fact that modern constructions of sewage treatment systems are quite tight installations, the possibility of emergency situations cannot be ruled out. For example, a pipe may break or one of the connections may be depressurized during operation.

Naturally, the septic tank and the well are located at a considerable distance from each other. The minimum distance is considered to be 15-25 meters. The optimal distance is 50 meters, but this parameter varies depending on the device and the depth of the well itself.

Important. When designing water supply and sewage systems, it should be noted that the minimum gap between the sewage tank and water supply pipes should be 10 meters. With this norm, water supply sources are protected from sewage in them in case of an accident with the water supply system, for example, a pipe will burst.

Apart from the fact that the placement of the treatment tank should be located at a certain distance from the water sources and pipelines, there are a number of limitations and recommendations.

Instructions for choosing the territorial location of the septic tank on the site of a private house:

1. you should not have a sewage plant closer than five meters from the edge of the basement of a residential house;
2. it is not advisable to locate it further than 7 meters from the basement of a residential house, a longer distance may lead to blockages, if you do not install an additional well;
3. distance to tree trunks is desirable to withstand at least 4 meters;
4. distance from the fence is recommended to leave about 2-3 meters.

Summary

If you decide to build a septic tank, then the rules and regulations that govern its location should be complied with without fail. In this case, there will be no problems with obtaining the approval of the project in SES. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
