Considering new soil connection

[shagster]

I want to build an outside toilet, and it seems I have two choices about how to route the waste.

Plan

• shagster
• 8 Apr 2018

The rectangle is an old IC that looks like this:

Drain

• shagster
• 8 Apr 2018

The circle is a new IC that I put in about 5 years ago, approx 4m downstream. Connection at either point will give me an OK drop.

I'm not really sure whether I should dig a longer (deeper) trench to the plastic IC which I know has an available connection, or put in a new IC further upstream to keep the new run shorter.

I'm not really bothered about the cost of a new IC or how much labour involved, just want the least risky/most reliable solution.

Note this is a public sewer, serving next door, and yes I'm aware of the BC requirements surrounding any mods.

Thanks for any advice!

It would be easier to connect into the newer IC assuming it's a plastic on with a couple of capped inlets.

The 45degrees bend won't be an issue.

Pity those capped off laterals in the brick chamber are on the wrong side, might have been able to reopen those and save some digging. +1 for Ian's advice, miles easier tapping into an existing plastic chamber than trying to graft another chamber into a live run.

Why cant the route to the placcy chamber be a straight line?
