Good to Know Locally
Septic Tanks in Shoreham-by-Sea: What to Know
General binding rules
Septic tanks in Shoreham-by-Sea 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 Adur District Council building control. Where a public sewer is within reach, connecting to Southern Water's network may be an option.
