Wastewater Treatment Solutions for Self Builders
Building your own home in a quiet rural setting offers many benefits but this type of location also brings additional responsibilities of ownership, not least understanding the impact your new house will have on the environment around you.
Ensure your choice of treatment plant is compliant
One of the most important considerations is drainage and wastewater management. As a homeowner, it is your responsibility under EPA guidelines (ROI) or NIEA regulations (NI) to make sure your wastewater treatment solution is compliant.
In ROI where the planning process is integrated with waste management, you will not gain approval without this aspect of your build fully investigated. You must also ensure that your wastewater treatment system is regularly serviced and maintained each year.
Common questions for off-mains drainage solutions
At an early stage of your self-build (before you apply for planning permission) it would be useful to consider the following questions relating to your off-mains wastewater treatment solution:
- Is the plot rural or urban?
- Is the plot connected to mains drainage?
- Will the plot have a mains water connection?
- Is the plot near a river or stream?
- Which system will meet your needs, and local authority requirements, the best?
- How do I get my consent to discharge (check whether it is called this in ROI)
- Should I pump it (if near a mains connection), treat it (using a sewage treatment plant; usually the most suitable option) or store it (using a septic tank)?

Wastewater treatment options
Sewage treatment systems that deal with wastewater vary hugely in terms of how they work and their efficacy ie. how effectively they can break down solids.
The one product that works extremely effectively, wherever you live, is a sewage treatment plant. This is an underground tank that provides an environment where aerobic bacteria can break down sewage and it is highly efficient, treating more than 90% of the pollutants in wastewater.
A septic tank, by contrast, does not treat waste. It produces soluble waste from solids, and this is then discharged and filtered through the ground.
