The construction of a
household sewage treatment plant is connected with the necessity to complete
certain formalities. What should
be prepared and how to proceed when planning to carry out this ecological
investment?
The household sewage
treatment plant requires legalization, by reporting the intention to build it. Otherwise, it can be considered as a
construction permit, and the owner of the property will be charged with a fine
up to a dozen or so thousand zlotys. Before
taking steps to obtain approval for the construction of a treatment plant, one
should decide on a specific type and choose the installation model that we are
interested in.
Reporting the construction
of a household treatment plant
Construction of a
household wastewater treatment plant with a daily capacity of up to 7.5 m³ , and most often it is installed in
single-family houses, it does not require obtaining a building permit. The intention to build a household
sewage treatment plant, however, should be reported in the construction
department responsible for the location of the poviat starosty investment. The notification should be made at
least 30 days before the planned implementation of the sewage treatment plant. Approval of the construction of a
household sewage treatment plant, requires meeting certain conditions, which
may vary depending on the region of the country. If within 30 days from the date of
filing, the county office does not object, it can be considered that the
application has been considered positively, which means that it is possible to
start construction.
Necessary for reporting
the construction of a household sewage treatment plant
The first step to be
taken when planning the construction of a household sewage treatment plant is
to check in the poviat starosty whether there are local plans for the terrace,
where our plots are located and whether they allow construction of a household
sewage treatment plant. It will
be necessary to prepare a situational and altitude map, on a scale of 1: 500 or
1: 1000, with the design of the sewage treatment plant along with the
description. A map for the
purposes of applying such a scheme can be downloaded in the geodesy department
of the starosty, and the implementation of the sketch should be ordered by the
company that will be the contractor of the investment. The proof of the right to dispose of
the property, for construction purposes, technical documentation of the
household sewage treatment plant, as well as the completed registration form
should also be prepared in advance. If
the treated wastewater is to be discharged to surface waters, then together
with the application for the construction, it is necessary to also submit the
consent of the owner of these waters for wastewater discharge and a water and
legal service.
