Hello,
I need some help from people who know their stuff.
We want to build a single-family house (without a basement) on a corner plot. The street running along the long side of the plot (the plot is roughly rectangular 21×34m) slopes slightly downward. However, we want to align the house with this street because otherwise, with the house width + carport, etc., we won’t make it, as we have to leave a 5m distance at the street corner. Now we are considering how to best manage the wastewater connection (the sewer runs roughly centrally under both streets) and I have several questions about that. First of all: Is it correct that usually a connection is only provided/possible in the area of gullies?
If yes, theoretically two spots would be possible. One is about 12m to the house, and the other about 35m. Of course, we would prefer to pay for fewer meters. However, with the closer connection, there is the problem that it would be in the slightly sloping street and slightly higher than the house position on the plot. Now we are wondering whether it could still work with the slope, etc. I unfortunately can’t judge that at all, because I don’t know, for example, how high above the sewer base the connection pipe would have to be. The sewer itself is (according to a somewhat overwhelmed woman at the municipality) probably 2m deep.
Maybe someone can help me a bit here. Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact height difference between the plot and the gully, but definitely less than 1m... I’d estimate more like 50-60cm.
Of course we will discuss everything with the responsible people, but we would like to have an idea first whether there is a chance to manage with fewer meters or if we definitely have to expect high costs due to the many meters.
Thanks in advance!
