How to Authorize the Percolation Fields of Wastewater Treatment Systems? – Step by Step Guide
Welcome to our webshop! Below we provide detailed information on the licensing of leakers connected to wastewater treatment systems.
1. CE Marking of Conformity and Authorization of Leakage Fields
Our waste water treatment equipment has a CE conformity mark, so only the leakage field needs to be approved. This is the responsibility of the competent local notary to be authorized on the basis of Section 24 (1) c) point. For details, click here: legislation .
2. Local Building Regulations and Utilities Substitute Equipment
The construction options for sewage treatment plants and seepage fields are determined by the Local Building Regulations. This document contains which utility replacement equipment can be used in the given settlement. Before ordering, please find out whether this wastewater treatment solution is permitted in your locality.
3. Preparation of design documentation
In the case of wastewater treatment systems under 500 m³/year, you can also order the design documentation required for licensing from our company. All you need is a title deed and a copy of the map (it doesn't have to be authentic). If the wastewater treatment plant is installed by another contractor, please draw on the map copy where it will be placed in the area (a sketch is sufficient).
We prepare the design documentation within 3-5 working days and send it by mail in three copies. The administration of the authorization is always the responsibility of the customer, since only the property owner can apply for the authorization.
4. Execution and Licensing Duration
Construction can begin in possession of a valid establishment permit. The authorization procedure usually takes a maximum of 30 days, however, the notary may also involve specialized authorities, which may extend the administration time. The customer is responsible for paying the fees incurred during the authorization procedure. In some areas, the notary can also request a soil mechanics expert opinion, the preparation of which is not included in the costs of the design documentation.
During licensing, the following legislation is taken into account:
5. Water Law Licensing Procedure
If the discharge of treated water exceeds 500 m³/year, or if the receiving water is live water, a water law licensing procedure is required, which must be conducted at the regionally competent Disaster Management Directorate. This requires various environmental impact studies and soil mechanics expert opinions, which we cannot help prepare, but we can recommend design offices specializing in water rights permits.
