Septic Tanks for Rural Homes Around Burgess Hill
2 min readBurgess HillBy AA Drainage
While Burgess Hill town is on mains drainage, many surrounding farms and cottages are not. Here is what owners of these properties should know.
Know your system
Find out what you have, where it is and where it discharges. Many owners discover their system only when something goes wrong.
Compliance checks
Make sure:
- The tank does not discharge to a ditch or stream
- It is emptied regularly by a registered carrier
- Repairs are carried out promptly
- Records are kept
Clay soil considerations
Clay is common around Burgess Hill, which can limit drainage fields. A treatment plant is often the practical choice where an upgrade is needed.
