Sanitation
Compost distance to well and boundary — Spain
Spain
No single national setback applies to every plot. Check the municipality, regional code and utility easements before fixing this zone on the plan.
Distances and rules
A compost heap or manure pile is placed away from any drinking-water source so that organics and seepage do not reach a well or borehole, and with a setback from the boundary so odour and moisture do not disturb the neighbour.
Official local check
Confirm the distance with the municipality / competent authority for the plot.
Spain — Civil Code, Articles 590–591 (local distances and planting)
Important limitation
This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
