So eventually we got another letter, this time there were issues that the house was too near the percolation are and also too near the railway line, so we had to move it.
We attempted a number of positions on the site and settled on one where we thought would be sufficent, the big issue was that we needed to be 20m minimum away from the percolation area.
Another issue that came up was with the trial hole and the tests we carried out.
It was noted that the person who carried out these tests needed to have indemnity insurance for carrying out trial hole/percolation tests.
Since my mate, who is fully qualified and experienced, worked for another company, he did not have this insurance so I had to go and source someone else, after a number of phone calls I got the same name off a number of people rang him and got him to carry out the tests.
He came back and told us we would need to have a full treatment system, his T-Value was twice ours, meaning that he suggested that it took twice as long for the water he poured to drain away compared to the water we poured into the hole.......
We had no real choice but to go with him and resubmit the results.
So we passed in all our results and changes again. 3rd time lucky.....
