Septic Tank Replacement Norfolk

Case Study: Septic Tank Replacement in Norfolk

Marsh Ensign 8PE, with a Specially Located Drainage Field

Location: Norfolk, UK

System Installed: Marsh Ensign 8PE Sewage Treatment Plant

Project Challenge: Positioning a drainage field over 50 meters away from a borehole used for drinking water.

Overview

Mantair was contracted to replace an aging septic tank system at a property in Norfolk.  The property required an upgrade to a treatment system that meets modern environmental standards, ensuring clean, safe discharge while maintaining a safe distance from an existing borehole providing drinking water.

Solution

After a thorough assessment, we recommended the Marsh Ensign 8PE treatment plant due to its reliability, ease of maintenance, and high treatment performance. The system is designed to handle the needs of residential properties, producing clean effluent that can safely discharge into a drainage field. Given the presence of a borehole within the property, we carefully selected the location of the new drainage field, ensuring it met regulatory requirements by positioning it over 50 meters from the drinking water borehole. This placement minimises any risk of contamination, keeping the property compliant with UK environmental and health standards.

Outcome

The new Marsh Ensign 8PE system has brought the property’s wastewater management into full compliance, significantly improving environmental safety and protecting local water resources. Our tailored installation provided the homeowner with peace of mind, knowing their treatment system is both effective and environmentally friendly.
