Municipalities are obliged to check whether septic tanks located in their area meet all requirements. Therefore, we can expect inspection visits from officials and, unfortunately, severe penalties.
Sewer inspections may start with calls from the property owner. During the officials' visit, the owners will have to show a contract with an entrepreneur dealing with professional wastewater disposal. Inspectors may also ask about VAT invoices and bills for septic tank cleaning. It is important that such confirmations are regular.

During the officials' visit, the proportions of pollutants exported to the amount of water used and the number of inhabitants on the farm will also be checked.

Importantly, the property owner cannot block such control. In case of problems, officials may call the services, which may impose a fine for obstructing the performance of officials' duties. Such a fine may reach up to PLN 5,000. zloty.
