Sanitation
Outdoor toilet distance to well and house
Italy
National civil-law rules are only a baseline. Check the regional rules and the current municipal planning instrument before fixing the zone.
Distances and rules
An outdoor toilet or cesspit is placed well away from any drinking-water source so that seepage cannot reach a well or borehole, and at a distance from dwellings — your own and the neighbour’s — for sanitary reasons and to keep odour away.
Official check

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.
