Sanitation
Compost distance to well and boundary
Kazakhstan
Compost is grouped with the cesspit/toilet: ~50 m to a well, ~20 m from house windows. No distinct compost figure.
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 well (as a cesspit)
About 50 m
Kazakhstan — approval of RK construction norms (SNiP RK / SP RK, official portal Adilet)
To house windows

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.
