Hello and nice forum.
4 houses (63, 65, 67, 69) At the end of xxxxx Road, xxx by the railway line have their own shared cesspits for sewage and waste.
House 63 and 65 (our house is 65) is fine as the cesspit is a new electrical 3 tiered unit which is only 4 years old.
The problem lies with our neighbours whose is an old one and often gets full and the soakway is actually under their garden.
For the last few months this has been overflowing and as a result has spilled and created a large flooding of disgusting waste water which is affecting more than just the garden.
We have a bespoken shed built there In the summer of 2007 ( where theres no was no indication of known problems, but previous owner knew it did over flow ) This shed is huge and is the home of several pets inclusive of show ferrets and rabbits and guinea pigs ( in the last few weeks we have had 3 guinea pigs die - a result of the sewage-- i dont know ).
It is only a matter of time before this flooding reaches the other side of the garden ( its over half way across now ) and start to eat away the garden and 2 other specialised shed and ferret courts.
We also have a dog, chickens and 3 children who are very young and would like to play in the garden, at present this is impossible, as we do not know what we can catch from this now would we wish to risk any harm to anyone.
The water/sweage smells and there is now green growth growing around the shed and the main shed rafters on the concrete base are also now in contact with the sewage waste.
What can be done about this, and who would it need reporting to ? I know that we are in the clear as we have had our cesspits checked out and the problem is 100% coming from nextdoors cesspit.
Its coming summer now and we have a ruined garden. Would it be possible for an inspector to visit and view and possible give us advice as to what happens next.
Any Ideas, or what I could do would be very appreciated.
Kind Regards.
