Choosing the right sewage treatment and disposal method for your site is essential to ensure value for money, effective long-term performance, protection of public health and the environment, and compliance with relevant legislation.

This guidance will help you choose the correct option for your circumstances by telling you about;

- the sewage treatment and disposal methods available.
- the maintenance requirements of the system you choose.
- the basic legal requirements.

Sewage treatment and disposal can be provided by a sewer provider (that is the public ‘foul’ sewer) or by a private sewage treatment system. Developments proposing the use of private sewage treatment systems areusually only acceptable where connection to the public sewer is not possible. Although if a treatment systemis proposed that offers a more sustainable solution to the overall water management of the site, that might be acceptable.
