8.7.3.1. — Length of Distribution Pipe

(1) The total length of distribution piping shall,

(a) not be less than 30 m when constructed as a shallow buried trench, or

(b) not be less than 40 m for any other absorption trench.

(2) Except as provided in Sentences (1), (3), and (4) every leaching bed constructed by means of absorption trenches shall have a total length of distribution pipe not less than the value determined by the formula,

where,

L = total length of distribution pipe in metres

Q = the total daily design sanitary sewage flow in litres

T = the design percolation time

(3) Except as provided in Sentence (1), where the treatment unit is described in Article 8.6.2.2.v1, the leaching bed may have a total length of distribution pipe not less than the value determined by the formula,

where,

L = total length of distribution pipe in metres

Q = the total daily design sanitary sewage flow in litres

T = the design percolation time

(4) Except as provided in Sentence (1), where the leaching bed is constructed as a shallow buried trench, the total length of the distribution pipe shall not be less than the value determined by Table 8.7.3.1.

where,

Q = the total daily design sanitary sewage flow in litres, and
