Waste Water Treatment for the house

One thing that I will need to get sorted out sooner rather than later is the waste water treatment plant. The new house is in rural area - (no mains sewage) and we have to install a system to treat the waste. This site from the Environmental Protection Agency gives some detail of what we have to do. There are plenty of companies around offering systems that will do what is required. It should be just a matter of choosing the most reliable and lowest overall cost - easier said than done!
I have had a few brochures already and one visit from a supplier. I also need a 10 year maintenance contract (a condition of the planning permission). The costs seem to arount the 4000 to 5000 euro range with "desludging" costs and servicing on top of that. (Possibly 100 to 200 euro annually).
More on this another day....
