Septic Tank Inspections

Septic Tank Inspections
The Water Services (Amendment) Act, 2012 provides for the introduction of a
national inspection system for domestic waste water treatment systems.
Details of the inspection process etc. are set out in the
National Inspection Plan 2013 and National Inspection Plan 2015-2017

All such inspections in County Kerry will be carried out by trained inspection staff
from Kerry County Council. Those dwellings due for inspection under the National
Inspection Plan will be notified directly in writing by Kerry County Council in
advance of the inspection taking place. However, it is also advisable to seek proof
of identity from any person seeking to carry out any inspection at your property.

Kerry County Council may also carry out inspections of domestic wastewater
treatment systems for other purposes. For example, inspections may be carried
out in circumstances where a complaint or report of a malfunctioning system is
received from a member of the public. These inspections may not be pre-notified.

Details of the National Inspection Plan, along with advice and information on
domestic waste water treatment systems (including possible grant assistance) is
available at the following links: http://www.epa.ie/water/wastewater/info/
