Sanitation
Septic tank distance to house, well and boundary
France
At least 35 m from a declared water intake (mandatory); ~5 m to the house and ~3 m to the boundary are DTU 64.1 trade practice.
Distances et règles
A septic tank is placed at a distance from the house — so it does not undermine the foundation and odour does not reach the windows — and well away from any drinking-water source, since leaks can contaminate a well or borehole. A setback from the boundary is also kept so the tank stays accessible for servicing and pumping.
