Septic Tanks in Reigate: What to Know
General binding rules
Septic tanks in Reigate must follow the Environment Agency's general binding rules. A septic tank must not discharge directly to a river, stream or ditch; if yours does, it needs to be replaced or upgraded.
Replacing a tank
A new septic tank or treatment plant needs Building Regulations approval through Reigate and Banstead Borough Council building control. Where a public sewer is within reach, connecting to Thames Water's network may be an option.
