Hi All
Thanks for any help
Have not used forum much, Could not find answer elswere
Looking at block of land for development, 760m ( 12m wide x 60m long ) Slope down away from road, One unit at the front one unit futher down slope ( behind sewer main approx 25m back )
Can drain to rear of land via next door land if permission
If not how high above the kirb would the unit guttering have to be
Is there other ways e.g. Tank and pump up to road or will the later be to expensive and maintenance high
Any thoughts or remarks will be greatly appreciatedThanks Iron Lady
My family home is on a block that slopes away from the road and they were unable to funnel their water onto the road.
So instead all the water funnels into a pit underground. The pit is just made up of gravel underground and all the water goes there. It is cheap, and it works.
It isn’t water tight or anything and doesn’t need pumping. The water just goes into the gravel pit and then disappates into the earth.
Also, the gravel pit is far enough underground that grass/plants can grow on top of it.

Email MeThat sounds good, however, if you have clay soils, then on-site infiltration through soakwells and pits become ineffective as the soil when wet becomes impervious and the water will not infiltrate away. I would suggest you spend some dosh upfront to get an engineer on board or consult the local government to get a better idea to avoid ending up with a nasty surprise.
