Envirocare manufacture and supply innovative sewage treatment systems for the self-build and commercial sectors in Ireland as an environmentally friendly alternative to septic tanks. Most rural homes in Ireland have their domestic sewage treatment needs met by a septic tank. In most urban areas, waste water is usually sent to a sewage treatment system. Sewage treatment systems are a more reliable solution to comply with the proposed new Septic Tank Regulations in Ireland. A septic tank is an underground storage tank for sewage, common in areas with no connection to main sewage pipes. Unlike septic tanks, sewage treatment systems process household sewage, partially breaking down solid waste through anaerobic digestion. The majority of rural homes in Ireland have their domestic sewage treatment needs met by a septic tank. In most urban areas, waste water is usually sent to a sewage treatment system. Due to poor design or maintenance, many of the 400,000 septic tanks in Ireland are polluting Ireland’s groundwater, putting human health at risk. In 2009 the European Court of Justice ruled that septic tanks in Ireland failed to meet the necessary standards. Why Install a Sewage Treatment System instead of a Septic Tank? Many of the 400,000 septic tanks in Ireland are polluting Ireland’s groundwater, putting human health at risk. Due to poor planning and policing, thousands of septic tanks are incorrectly installed, constructed in areas of rock or have not been maintained, causing serious water quality issues. In 2009, the European Court of Justice ruled that septic tanks in Ireland had failed to meet the necessary standards. All septic tanks should have complied with Articles 4 and 8 of the Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15th July 1975 on waste, later to be amended by Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18th March 1991, which states that “waste should be recovered or disposed of without endangering human health and without us. Envirocare’s Sewage Treatment Systems actively treat sewage treatment before safely discharging to the environment. Envirocare provide a range of domestic sewage treatment systems suited to single houses, up to 10 people as well as commercial sewage treatment systems such as the Biotec and Envirosafe ranges.
