Wastewater Report
What is a wastewater report and who does it concern?
If you live or have a cottage in a sparsely populated area or are considering moving there, you've likely heard about preparing a wastewater report. A wastewater report is a written document that describes how your property's wastewater is treated.
The wastewater report must include certain details, but there is no specific prescribed format for preparing it. Therefore, preparing the report is more straightforward than many initially think!
Who does preparing a wastewater report concern?
Preparing a wastewater report concerns every property owner in sparsely populated areas in Finland. The report must be prepared regardless of how you have arranged your property's wastewater treatment. If you have a wastewater system, you can get more information about its report documents from your wastewater system supplier.
How should a wastewater report be prepared?
There is no specific prescribed format for preparing a wastewater report, but it must include the main features of your wastewater treatment.
If your wastewater treatment is simple, you can prepare the written document yourself. It is recommended to use a computer word processing program so that the wastewater report is easily understandable to an outsider.
If your wastewater system is complex, you can always turn to a professional for help in preparing the report, who will advise you on implementing a proper report.
The wastewater report should include the following information:
– Description of your wastewater treatment system
– Information about the placement of wastewater system components and wastewater discharge points
– Operating and maintenance instructions for your wastewater system
Many municipalities also provide forms and guidance for preparing a wastewater report. You can also ask for advice from our customer service, where you can reach wastewater experts.
Why is a wastewater report prepared?
A wastewater report is useful because it brings together the most important information about the property's wastewater treatment principles.
In practice, the wastewater report describes where your wastewater comes from and where it goes, and where, for example, wastewater pipes discharge. This information is necessary both for you as the property owner or seller, and for the authorities.
The wastewater report must be shown to supervisory authorities upon request. The wastewater report has been given a framework in law, based on which authorities receive clear information about how your property's wastewater treatment is arranged.

Should you prepare a wastewater report or plan?
It's important to note the difference between a wastewater report and a plan, because although the terms are similar, they are in practice two different things.
A wastewater report provides clear information to authorities, and a wastewater plan acts as a roadmap for implementing your wastewater system. While you can prepare a simple wastewater report yourself, the plan should be requested from a wastewater professional. The plan is prepared before the wastewater system.
A wastewater plan lays the foundation for proper wastewater use, and it includes property-specific recommendations and instructions for implementing the wastewater system. A professionally prepared plan meets regulatory requirements and takes into account, for example, soil characteristics and system size requirements.
The plan reveals, among other things, what type of wastewater system is best suited for your property's water use. This way, you can acquire a system that is properly sized and cost-effective.
