subject: Use The Designer For Cottages Waste Water Purification System [print this page] The times of the coagulation basins are overThe times of the coagulation basins are over. In 2004, the regulation was given that all buildings located outside the municipal wastewater network have to have wastewater treatment system by the end of year 2013. This means renovations (in Finnish: remontti) in most of the summer cottages in Finland.
The estimation is that there are still something like 450000 buildings without proper waste water purification in Finland. The amount is huge, compared to the time given when the renovation should be done, and the fact that all solutions using running water need the waste water engineer to plan and approve the construction.
If most of the 450000 building owners will leave the construction works for the summers 2012 and 2013, waste water engineer will not have they summer holidays at those summers. That is one reason the owner of the building needing the renovation may want to contact the specialist as early as possible.
There are various ways to arrange the waste water purification system, and the most expensive is not always the best. The planning of waste water management should start from the needs and use of the building. Summer cottage used only in summer time might not need the complete bio-chemical wastewater treatment system, as this system is costly and requires regular maintenance. However if the flush toilet is in use, that is often the only option.
Good designer of waste water purification system do not only provide advice and planning, he or she can also monitor the installation phase. The chosen specialist should be impartial and familiar with different solutions. The good designer checks the local requirements also and prepares two or three different solutions for the client to choose. They can also help with construction permits and other possible authorization procedures.
Good sources of finding the waste water specialist are large hardware store (in Finnish: rautakauppa) nearby the building. Local specialists know the local requirements and construction workers, and when local designer is used, not too much money is paid for travelling expenses.
Waste water engineering for a house that is used year round costs about 1000-1500 euros. Summer cottage are usually done for a lower cost.
