Sanitation
Outdoor toilet distance to well and house — Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan
For a private household, keep a non-sewered sanitary installation at least 10 m from the dwelling. Place a non-centralized drinking-water intake at least 50 m upstream in groundwater flow from the pollution source.
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.
To dwelling in a private household
At least 10 m
Kazakhstan — official sanitary guidance for private-house septic installations
To non-centralized drinking-water intake
At least 50 m, with the intake upstream in groundwater flow
Kazakhstan — sanitary rules for drinking-water sources (Order No. 26, current Adilet text)
