Re: Septic tank
I know find that one of the largest urbanisations in Javea is on a septic tank. So knowledge is a wonderful thing and custom and practice too. However presumption is not to be encouraged.
We now understand and have put it behind us. You either live with it or go elsewhere.
It is not that we are innocents here for French living for all those years enables one to have a Phd in the subject.
What is happening however and throughout France that each fosse septique that does not comply with modern day environmental standards has to be changed and you have two years in which to do it.
Of course financial benefit as it sewerage charges absolutely agree. Still mains drainage is the preferred option not to be just get on with it.

Reality I am afraid and dependent upon the terrain and the like circa 9000 euros.
They are employing University students during summer months to visit let us say 'notable' properties.
Even Notaires now advise. Lived there for over 35 years. Changing. I even know of one house with the fosse in the bathroom
