Watercombe House - May 2011
Watercombe House was served by a very small septic tank with a direct discharge into the watercourse. The existing illegal system was replaced with a package sewage treatment plant. An armoured electrical supply was taken from the house and the old system was in-filled and made safe.

Ashwick Farm - August 2010
Ashwick Farm was served by a damaged septic tank which was illegally discharging raw sewage into the watercourse. The discharge pipe was also under the watercourse water level and in the winter months when the water level rose, the whole system became surcharged and caused blockages. The existing septic tank and damaged pipe work was repaired and an aeration unit, with integral pump chamber (with high level alarm), was installed on the backend. The system now has an EA exemption for the discharge.

Bickleigh Mill
This popular tourist attraction and restaurant had out grown its existing sewage treatment plant capacity. WCI installed a new septic tank before the existing plant, altered the existing plant`s treatment capacity and pumped the treated effluent to further secondary treatment, clarification and reed beds. The discharge from the beds flows into the local watercourse.

Philip Green Memorial School
The school had been historically discharging into a large `pond` for as long as anyone could remember. All the surface water was separated from the foul flow. The pond was cleaned out and landscaped to enable it to be fashioned as a surface water retention pond. The foul was redirected into a septic tank discharging via two reed beds to a soakaway.

Wick Farm
The site was suffering with a failed soakaway. A pump chamber was installed at the back end of the septic tank and the effluent was treated via a reed bed and soakaway. The reed bed was designed to mirror the existing pond and complement the proposed cob summer house.
