Does drain water go into septic tank?

Where does the drainage go once it leaves a house that has a septic system?

What is bad for a septic tank?
Any heavy chemicals such as bleach, motor oil, poisonous chemicals (even those for rats and bugs) are big no-no’s for your septic tank. If you toss these down the drain you will be killing off all the good bacteria that help to break down waste and keep your system running the way it should.
Where does septic tank drainage soak away on neighbouring land?
If it goes under the farmers track and to the chamber on the farmers track and then to the ditch then I will need to do some work to the chamber. I spoke to the farmer and he said that it is ok to go onto his land and to let him know etc BUT my neighbour currently rents the track and the field behind and is stopping me from accessing this land.
What does deed say about existing drain pipe?
The deeds don’t say the existing drain pipe. I suppose my other beef is that we paid for half of the soak away, and if it were just for the foul water goods from both properties, that would be fine but they put half of their rain water goods directly into it, with the other half first going into the septic tank. I look forward to hearing from you.
Can a neighbour have a septic tank on their property?
After all, there will only be one neighbour who has the septic tank on their property, so they’ll be bearing the brunt of the nasty niffs and any unpleasant stuff bubbling up in their garden. For some, it can be a case of ‘out of sight (or smell), out of mind’.
Who is responsible for the drains on your property?
Few of us give much thought to who owns the drains and sewers which serve our property. Until we have a problem, that is. And whilst the rule of thumb used to be that if it was within your boundary, it was your responsibility, that all changed in October 2011.
