We have received a letter notifying us of a compulsory inspection by a SPANC appointed 3rd party.
We had our old system replaced 2 years ago so it seems a bit early to have it inspected. Apparently they’re doing all the non connected properties in the commune.
Very interesting in their paperwork which I found on-line there is a question about water in the fosse and mosquitos. It’s a real problem around here as several houses use the public ditches for their outflow and the ditches are badly maintained.
We don’t even have a public fosse but are fortunate to have enough land for the outflow to go down the property. SPANC were happy with that 2 years ago so it will be very interesting to see if they have changed their minds.

The SPANC man cometh
We had a fosse system which pumped the water through a filtration system (a large hump) and like you, we had plenty of land and the filtered water went into a ditch.
The problem with mozzies is standing water and uncleared ditches will be a haven for them. That said, even if the ditches were cleared, the water would probably remain standing until ot could drain away naturally.
