Sewage Treatment, Surface Water Run-Off & Rainwater Harvesting Solutions
In 2012 new legislation came into force for owners of all Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWWTS) in Ireland. The
Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012 includes registration and inspection arrangements. This means that all on-site septic tank systems or domestic wastewater treatment systems will have to be registered.
There are 440,000 wastewater treatment systems (such as Septic Tanks and Bio treatment Units) serving single houses in Ireland.
What do I need to do?
All existing DWWTS should have been registered by the 1st February 2013, if you have not registered you may still do so on the
Protect Water website
Once registered, you will then have to have an inspection carried out on the tank to ensure it is in good working order.
If you have neglected to have your tank clean out on a regular basis (recommendation is every 2 years for aseptic tank and every year for a bio unit) then it is expected that your tank is not working as efficiently as it should be.
