Sanitation
Compost distance to well and boundary — Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan
The current sanitary rule treats compost as a possible pollution source: place a non-centralized drinking-water intake at least 50 m upstream in groundwater flow. It does not establish one universal compost-to-house or boundary number.
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.
To non-centralized drinking-water intake
At least 50 m, with the intake upstream in groundwater flow

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.
