The deadline for wastewater renovation in groundwater and coastal areas was October 31, 2019. Read who the new wastewater legislation applies to.
Watch the video to see what the Wastewater Act means.
The Wastewater Act can be summarized in three points:
- 1. The wastewater system must be renewed by October 31, 2019, if the building is located in a coastal area (maximum 100 m from a body of water or the sea) or in a groundwater area.
- 2. The wastewater system does not need to be renovated,
- if the building permit for the property was granted in 2004 or after.
- if the property is connected to the sewer network.
- if the property already has a wastewater system that meets the regulations.
- if all owners of the property were born before March 9, 1943.
- if the property only has piped water and a dry toilet (huussi).
- 3. The wastewater system must also be renewed in a situation where the building is not located in a coastal area (more than 100 m from a body of water or the sea) or in a groundwater area,
- if a permit is required for the construction of a water toilet or for repair and modification work on water and sewage systems, in which the system is renewed or completely repaired.
- if repair and alteration work that requires a building permit is carried out that is comparable to the construction of a building.
