I completed and returned a registration form over a year ago, but have heard nothing since. The EA website says they are obliged to confirm or reject within 3 weeks - does this mean my registration has been accepted by default?
I am reluctant to rock the boat, but naturally want to comply with regulations so far as they are compulsory (Wales, not England).
I have been advised that an existing functioning septic tank only has to comply with the specifications in force at its date of installation. Ours was probably installed when the house was built in 1875, so presumably is fully compliant with the then regulations, if any!
There was a worried flurry of agitation among rural home owners when this topic was in the news a year ago, and the advice was to register while it was free and then keep our heads down. Has anyone any further news on what is supposed to be happening, or is this issue now in the long grass?
