Private Sewage Pump Stations

[schnauzers]

Thanks everyone for your replies, we have this morning had another reply from the house owners saying that the local water company looks after it which is totally wrong as it only serves one property, I think for peace of mind we will push to at least get a maintenance company to go out and look at it for us so we know what type of system it actually is and that it is in full working order. Also just found this image that I took last time we went there, this is what is on the side of the house.

If they say that the 'local water company' look after it, then tell the sellers that you will contact them to confirm this.

I just did that Andy and they looked at the mapping and said they have no pump station in that post code area, like you say I have gone back to owners to ask them for proof

Now you have caught them lying, what else are they lying about??

Ask to have the sewage pump/system inspected with a report. (with the cost being taken off the selling price.)

This could be a can of worms. Good luck.

From the photo that will be a single pump set up with two floats, start/run and high water level alarm.

I'd guess ABS Piranha if I had to guess but then would expect a name plate on the front of the box or inside the box with either.

Ah yes it may be a Macerator makes sense if a single station. Bob
