Collecting septic tanks - advice and leak testing

Wastewater collection pits must be leak-proof to prevent wastewater from entering the soil and groundwater. Operators are obliged to have the collecting pits checked for leaks every 20 years by an authorized expert. In Zone II water protection areas, the inspection interval is 5 years, in Zone III 10 years.

The Environmental Agency provides advice on carrying out the leak test and on questions relating to problems with the operation of these wastewater collection pits.
