An overview of the nuances of connecting a private house to a central sewer

Let's move on to the stages of connecting the house to the sewer

• — Work is underway to level and compact the bottom of the dug ditch.
• - A mixture of sand and gravel is poured, this layer should be about fifteen centimeters. There is no need for compaction along the length of the trench; it is necessary to compact by force in two places - near the entrance of the highway and a couple of meters from the well.
• - Pipes are being laid in a trench from the house at a downward slope with a socket. It is necessary to clean the places where the pipes connect from dirt.
• - The socket ring and the smooth edge of the pipe section are smeared with silicone.
• - The length for which it will be necessary to insert the pipe section into the socket is measured and a special mark is made.
• - The pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops.

List of documents

When deciding to independently draw up the legal side of the issue, it is necessary to prepare the following papers:

• Site plan prepared by a surveying company, with a house marked on it and a scheme for laying pipes for sewer communications.
• Proof of ownership of the house and land.
• Documentation specifying technical requirements is prepared by an organization specializing in sewer service.
• Plan of tie-in of a private pipeline to the central network, developed by a qualified designer.
• The plan consists of a longitudinal profile, a general plan and a master plan for networks.
• Permission for sewerage in a private house, agreed in accordance with the architectural design.
• Application to the executive company.

During the last stage, you should collect a package of necessary papers, you need to choose a company that will be entrusted with the installation of sewers in a private house to city communications.

Installation work

Only representatives of a specialized installation organization can make a tie-in into the existing sewer network. At the stage of contacting the company, an estimate will be drawn up and the cost of services rendered for connection will be calculated.

To reduce costs, you can only agree on a tie-in to the central sewer riser, and connect the private house and the wiring of the house line yourself.The laying of the pipeline must be completed before the arrival of the installation organization.

When laying the pipe from the house to the central riser, the following conditions are observed:

1. A sand cushion is laid at the bottom of the trench. The bottom is well compacted with water flow.
2. The slope of the pipe is strictly observed, which is at least 1 cm per linear meter.
3. The socket is mounted from the slope downwards.
4. Ideally, there should be no turns in the pipeline, but if corners are necessary, an inspection well is installed above it.

It happens that neighbors or well-meaning friends recommend that the person who decides how to connect to the sewer do the cutting himself. But this is a gross violation of existing building codes. The person who decides to connect in this way should be prepared for the consequences:

1. Penalties.
2. Disconnection from the sewer network for a long time.

Inspections of the water supply lines are carried out regularly, so there will not be a pipeline that is independently embedded in the central network of treatment facilities for a long time. The formalization of the tie-in requires material investments, but it will be cheaper than the fine that you have to pay.

Direct connection to the central system

But the connection of the internal sewerage system with the central system, as a rule, is carried out by a service company. In some cases, the owner may be allowed to carry out the tie-in on his own. One way or another, but at the same time, a representative of the water utility must be present, who is required to sign the act of work performed. By this, he confirms that all the work was carried out correctly, that it is possible to begin to operate the sewer.

The connection of the internal sewerage to the central system is carried out by a specialized service company.

Connection types

It is worth noting that self-connection is troublesome and costly. You will have to collect a whole package of documents for contacting the local water utility and solve a number of organizational issues. For this reason, it is practiced to turn to special companies that resolve issues of this kind.

The service, of course, is paid. But it's a great way to save yourself the hassle. The hired company itself will draw up a connection plan, make all the necessary calculations, take permission to lay the pipeline from all neighbors and coordinate the project in the architectural department and the water utility.

There is a way to pay a smaller amount for connection (unfortunately, it is not available to citizens as often as they would like). In the case of the modernization of the central system, you can contact the water utility and pay a certain amount in order to be involved in the renewal of the system. In this case, the tie-in will be cheaper. Discounts are also provided for collective connection together with neighbors.

By type of connection there are:

1. Separate. That is, a separate storm drain and utility sewage are discharged into the common drain.

Advantages of this connection:

there is no need for additional verification of storm water contamination.

Minus:

the connection will cost more, since two tie-ins are performed at once and it is necessary to ensure the functioning of two separate systems on the site - sewerage and storm water.

1. Mixed. The main advantage of such connections is the payment for a single tie-in to the central system.Additionally, a document may be required confirming the absence of environmentally hazardous substances in wastewater.

Let's move on to the stages of connecting the house to the sewer

• — Work is underway to level and compact the bottom of the dug ditch.

• - A mixture of sand and gravel is poured, this layer should be about fifteen centimeters. There is no need for compaction along the length of the trench; it is necessary to compact by force in two places - near the entrance of the highway and a couple of meters from the well.
• - Pipes are being laid in a trench from the house at a downward slope with a socket. It is necessary to clean the places where the pipes connect from dirt.
• - The socket ring and the smooth edge of the pipe section are smeared with silicone.
• - The length for which it will be necessary to insert the pipe section into the socket is measured and a special mark is made.
• - The pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops.

Types of sewer systems

All types of drain communications can be divided into two types - autonomous and centralized. The first option is characterized by a drain pit or septic tank, a treatment plant. Household and organic waste from them is either pumped out and taken to designated areas for treatment and processing, or cleaned on site using a system of filters and sedimentation tanks. When installing a centralized sewerage system, effluents go to the citywide (rural, township) system.

Since a centralized installation of sewerage in a private house is relatively rare, only in dense urban or rural areas, our article will mainly consider an autonomous system.

Allocate options:

• drain pit for temporary use.It is typical for street toilets, where, in addition to biological waste, liquid household waste is also sent. The pit in this case, after filling, is dug in and dug out in another place. Applicable only for rare use by unpretentious people;
• drain pit with pumping. It is possible both for toilets installed inside the house and drains from the sink / bath / sink / washing machine and dishwasher, as well as for outdoor “amenities”. It is mandatory to waterproof the walls of a concrete or brick container;
• cesspool with devices for partial clarification of drain waters. A filter well or a single-chamber septic tank is used as a working element. The well / septic tank periodically accumulates solid waste to be removed;
• multi-chamber septic tanks (otherwise filtering or treatment plants). The level of wastewater treatment in these devices allows you to dump clarified waste directly into the ground or a nearby body of water.

An autonomous sewage system for a private house can be arranged according to any of the options, but it is necessary to take into account the restrictions on the amount of waste that can be processed or allowed to be dumped:

• a temporary drain pit is actually a "disposable" structure. Its volume rarely exceeds 5 ... 10 cubic meters, so immediately after filling it ceases to be usable;
• with timely pumping out, drain pits in the form of a concrete or brick container with waterproofing can be used to service a small private house / cottage / guest outbuilding.The volume of such pits is also 5 ... 15 cubic meters, so the use of a washing machine / dishwasher and the active operation of the shower / bath will have to be limited;
• the performance of single-chamber septic tanks or filter wells is limited by their volume and design, but with the right choice of device, they are suitable for a family of 2 ... 5 people using water in normal mode;
• multi-chamber septic tanks and treatment plants are designed for active water use, the variety of their models allows you to choose a specific device for the planned volume of wastewater.

Of course, do-it-yourself sewerage in a private house is the easiest and fastest to arrange according to the first and second options. Installation of septic tanks requires either sufficient skills in the construction and laying of communications, or the involvement of specialists.

Exploitation

Connecting to a central sewer system does not mean that the owners will not have problems with operation.

In order for the tie-in to function correctly and not cause trouble, you must follow a few simple rules:

• It is forbidden to throw into the drains large objects that clog the pipeline - food waste, paper, hair, feminine hygiene items, etc.
• It is recommended to regularly flush the siphons under the kitchen sink and clean the plumbing fixtures with a plunger and a wire brush.
• Using a ruff allows you to cope with small clogs in the toilet bowl. You can make a ruff yourself from a piece of cable, the end of which is unraveled in the form of a fan.

The use of strong chemicals is prohibited! Cleaning blockages in this way causes environmental poisoning.

And volatile chemical compounds that occur when cleaning agents are poured into sinks or toilet bowls have the most adverse effect on the health of the owners.

Cleaning the sewer in a hydrodynamic way is one of the most effective ways to solve the problem of clogged sewer pipes!

What is the right place to start?

First of all, you need to decide on the type of sewerage passing near the house. Depending on this, two possible types of connection are distinguished:

• Separate. It is used in case of connection of storm and household sewerage of a private house. It is carried out separately in two systems.
• Mixed. It can be used in the presence of a mixed type pipeline. In this case, one common pipe is supplied, which crashes into the system.

It must be understood that the sewer input, which will connect the intra-house system with the centralized one, is financed by the developer. This can add up to a hefty sum. Those who want to save money can try to implement the planned event during the planned modernization of the centralized branch. To do this, before starting work, contact the water utility, where you can offer your financial participation in carrying out such modernization. With a positive decision, the organization will take on part of the work, including design and connection, which will provide significant savings. Another way to pay less is a collective tie-in with neighbors. In this case, the costs can also be reduced.

Self-tie-in to the central sewer is a troublesome undertaking.Those who do not like to run around the authorities can be recommended to contact a company that provides such services. In this case, the developer will be relieved of the need to collect a package of permits and resolve a number of organizational issues. In addition, the procedure for commissioning a new branch is greatly simplified. However, such services are not cheap and those who want to save on them are likely to refuse.

Those who decide to deal with the issue on their own will need to collect the following documents:

• The plan of the site and the house, on which the scheme of laying the sewer pipeline should be applied. Performed by a company specializing in geodetic expertise.
• Specifications for the new connection. Developed by an organization that is engaged in the maintenance of sewer communications.
• The project of connecting a branch to a centralized sewerage system. The document is prepared by a specialist designer. The basis for it is the previously obtained situational plan and technical conditions.
• Coordination of the prepared project in the water utility and the Architectural Department. In parallel, a company is being approved, which will subsequently connect a new branch.

Another important nuance. It is worth enlisting the consent of the residents of neighboring houses to carry out construction work in the immediate vicinity of their sites. A document should be prepared and signatures of neighbors should be collected. If the pipeline will pass through sections where the networks of other organizations are located, for example, electrical or thermal, and it is also supposed to be carried out under the roadway, additional permits will be required.If all these procedures seem too troublesome and there is a desire to carry out an unauthorized tie-in without collecting documents, you need to know that such actions provide for an impressive fine and forced dismantling of the pipeline at the expense of the developer.

For the arrangement of an external branch of the sewer, which will be extended to the central line, a special pipe should be used

List of documents

Internal sewerage device

Sewerage inside the house is a system of devices that provides drainage from sanitary appliances and equipment. Entering the sewer into the house, as a rule, is carried out in the basement or on the ground floor and perform from polyethylene pipes high density.Risers and outlets from sanitary appliances designed to collect waste, can be steel or plastic.

Sewerage scheme inside the house

The layout of sewerage networks happens:

• open - along the perimeter of walls and partitions;
• hidden - inside walls and partitions.

Works on the device of water supply and sewerage consist of two main stages:

• installation of internal sewage systems, cold and hot water supply, sealing holes in ceilings and walls after laying pipes;
• installation of sanitary appliances, their connection to the water supply and sewerage risers; installation of shut-off, mixing valves.

It is better to entrust the installation of water supply and sewerage to professionals. Ideally, if the sewer scheme has a visible pattern or design. It can be part of a whole house project or a sketch made by yourself. According to the drawing, it is easy to determine the length of the pipeline, which means to calculate the required number of pipes.

Storm sewerage in a private house

Storm sewer

Storm sewers help to avoid flooding the site and buildings on it in case of precipitation. The rainwater drainage system consists of:

1. Drains from the roof. These are gutters that collect moisture from precipitation and drain it through funnels at their ends into sewers.
2. Water paths on the ground or in concrete. From the drainpipes, water enters these funnels and flows through them to the collection point. Such paths should be made at a slight slope so that the water can easily drain.
3. Places for collecting and discharging sedimentary water

There are three types of storm sewers:

1. Ground. Ditches, ditches and drainage sites are located above the surface.It is mainly used if the amount of precipitation is small and there is an architectural possibility to arrange a sewer
2. Underground. With an underground system, all drainage elements, except for home ones, are hidden under a layer of soil
3. Combined. When combining systems, some of the structures are left above the ground, and some are hidden under the ground

When you have chosen the type of storm sewer, you can begin to build it.

Installation of a rainwater drainage system

Storm sewer

1

Design stage. It is possible to design a storm sewer separately from the main one and jointly. It is necessary to approximately understand how much water will need to be diverted from the site. You can go to the websites of meteorological services and see statistics for past years.

2

Next, buy the necessary materials and you can proceed with the installation. Install roof gutters first. Next, mount the water paths and grooves. It is better to do this at the same time as laying, paving the paths on the site.

Water paths can be laid in trenches. Dig a trench 10-15 centimeters long. Fall asleep at the bottom small gravel or decorative stone. Lay pipes and channels on top. The system is then tested.

Sewerage also requires inspection and maintenance. Below we will consider the maintenance of water and waste disposal systems.

Obtaining the necessary documents and permits

Each network has an owner. Centralized sewer - too. Therefore, first you need to find out to whom it belongs, because it is with the owner that you will have to negotiate and cooperate.This may be, for example, Vodokanal, or maybe another organization. For the convenience of the owner of the network, in the article we will call Vodokanal.

Having found out the owner, it is necessary to collect and prepare the required documents, to carry out preparatory work on the site. Only after that, in the presence of a representative of Vodokanal, a legal connection is made. Otherwise, for illegal tapping, penalties and disassembly of the connection are due at your expense, plus they can take money for the diversion of drains in 6 months.

If an unauthorized connection to the central private house sewerage was done before you purchased it, you should contact Vodokanal. If the summing up and tie-in are made in accordance with the standards, you may not have to disassemble everything. The connection will be issued, which will cost much less.

To apply for connection to the Vodokanal service, you need:

• Determine the exact connection point (tie-in);
• Draw up a diagram of the inlet branch of the pipeline for laying;
• Pick up pipes for her.

Therefore, first you need to find out what type of central sewer network you have to connect to. It can be separate, when domestic and storm drains each go through their own pipelines. It can be mixed, when the drains go in one pipe, there is no need to tie in two separate branches. The type of sewage system determines the method of diverting water from the site (in one or two mains), as well as the possibility or impossibility of diverting storm water. For a separate system, permission for each of the networks is issued separately (all papers and the project).In the case when it is impossible to divert storm water to the central network, they can be cleaned and used on the site, for example, for irrigation, washing. To collect storm water, you will need a separate tank.

Since all the financial costs of bringing wastewater to the tie-in site, as well as tie-in work, fall on the shoulders of the developer (the owner of the site), it is reasonable to first make an approximate calculation of costs, think over all measures to reduce it. Perhaps it will be possible to gather like-minded people among the neighbors, then the costs will decrease. Another measure could be the financial participation of the developer in the modernization project. With a positive decision of Vodokanal, part of the work will be paid by the organization.

In order to avoid difficulties related to the rights of neighbors, you must first coordinate with them the construction work next to their sites. The consent of the neighbors must be recorded (a free-form document with a list of signatures).

What documents need to be prepared

1. First of all, you need to contact the surveyors in the company engaged in geodetic examinations, get a site plan with a sewerage scheme (usually on a scale of 1:500).
2. With the received plan, attaching a copy of the passport, a document on ownership of the property, the owner applies to Vodokanal with a statement.
3. Vodokanal specialists must issue technical conditions (TS) for the future connection (the response time to the application is 2 weeks).
4. It is necessary to develop a connection project, made by the designer on the basis of specifications and site plan.
5. Coordination of this project by specialists: an architect and an expert from Vodokanal.
6. The choice of a contractor - the owner of real estate or an organization that will directly connect a branch of a private pipeline to a centralized highway. The artist selection is displayed in the document.
7. If there are other central networks in the territory where the sewer and storm branches will pass, permissions from the owners of the networks will also be required to carry out work in their area of ​​​​responsibility.

Already from what has been said, it is clear that an exact project, agreed upon in several instances, will be needed. For most owners of suburban areas or new buildings, it is easier to apply for the preparation of documentation to companies involved in the collection and preparation of documents. This is not cheap, however, it saves the owner of the site from wasting time and making mistakes.

We have a large apartment building, 8 front doors, 130 apartments.
The sewer broke yesterday. They turned off the water. Made an emergency call.
Today at 11:30 am, there is no car, when it will be - it is not known. A polite dispatcher girl explained that they had a day to work out the application, and only then you could call and ask what kind of account we were in the queue.
The situation is catastrophic, neither wash your hands, nor, excuse me, go to the toilet.
We wait.

What you need to obtain permission to tap into the central sewer network

At the beginning of construction, many people think about whether a permit is needed to build a sewer. It is imperative to coordinate the project and work so that in the future you do not pay fines and do not dismantle the system at the expense of the developer.

Sewer connection

To obtain permits, you must submit to the relevant authorities:

• Land plan and building plan. The plans should indicate the layout of the pipelines of the sewer system. It is applied by a specialist of a company providing geodetic expertise services.
• Design documentation for connection to a centralized sewerage system. The document is developed by the designer on the basis of technical conditions and a situational plan.
• Signatures of neighbors. Permission from neighbors to lay a sewer is necessary as a confirmed written consent (if the pipes will pass through neighboring areas).
• Permits of services whose engineering communications pass under the site where the laying of pipelines of the drainage system will be carried out (heat or gas pipelines, electrical cables, etc.).

A sample permit for tie-in to the sewer can be obtained from the company that will coordinate the project.

Technical conditions for connecting to the sewer

Connection process

Main stages of work

With any method of drainage, you can contact a company whose specialists will carry out all the necessary work, or do the connection yourself. If the owner of the house prefers to do all the work himself, then he must adhere to the following plan:

1. At the first stage, you will have to contact a surveying company to develop a possible connection scheme. It should be noted that the services of such organizations are paid. You can reduce costs if you connect the house to the central sewer not alone, but together with your neighbors.
2. Apply with a package of documents to the company that services the selected sewer system. Employees of the company will develop the technical conditions necessary for connection.
3. Coordinate the connection scheme and specifications with the architects.
4. In addition, coordinate the project with other organizations whose networks are located on the proposed pipeline route. This includes traffic police (crossing the road), heating and electrical networks.
5. Carry out preparatory work to the point of insertion into the central system.
6. In the presence of a specialist, connect a private house to the sewer system.
7. Notify the organization servicing the sewerage about the tie-in and conclude a contract for water disposal.

Registration of necessary documents

From the main stages of the connection, it can be understood that the tie-in to the central sewer is accompanied by a lot of approvals and documents. The homeowner will have to collect a package of documents, which contains:

• plan of the land plot and household sewerage;
• documents certifying the right to own a house and a land plot;
• the scheme of the proposed connection, developed by the employees of the water utility and signed by architectural organizations;
• permission of the architect to carry out work on the tie-in personally or by a specific organization;
• other permits in the case of pipes passing through central networks and mains;
• consent of neighbors (document may be required additionally);
• application to the service organization, notifying the time of the work.

Tapping into the central sewer without prior approval will entail a large fine and the cost of dismantling a private sewer.

Preparatory work

The preparatory work that must be carried out after the collection of documents, but until the moment of direct connection to the network, consists in:

digging trenches for laying pipes;

Pipeline trenches

revision well

pipe assembly and installation.

Assembling the pipeline and laying it in a prepared trench

When laying the pipeline, it is necessary to ensure the necessary slope of the system, which ensures the passage of wastewater by gravity. According to the norms, pipes should sag by 3-5 cm in each meter.

Connection to the central sewerage system

The last stage of work is the direct connection of the local sewage system to the central system. This work should be done only with the personal presence of a representative of the water utility, who can later confirm that everything has been done correctly and complies with the developed standards.

The contract for the sewerage service is signed by the representative of the service organization and the homeowner. According to this document, the volume of wastewater and the fee for its provision are regulated.

Where to go for sewerage

First you need to contact the local administration, from there you will have to go to the geodetic service (order situational plan for site), to the water utility and SES. An application is submitted to the water utility to receive specifications for connection. You need to have a copy of your passport and a document confirming ownership of house and lot. If the pipeline has to be laid under the carriageway, a permit from the road authority will be required.

After the technical conditions are received, you can order a sewerage project. If it is created by third-party specialists, the finished document still needs to be approved by the water utility and companies whose communications take place near the house (gas service, RES, telephone service). The final approval takes place in the department of architecture of the local municipality.

For installation, you can also hire a contractor who has the appropriate approvals. But in any case, a tie-in to the general network is made by a specialist from a company servicing the municipal sewer system.
