What is the minimum separation distance from a sewage tank to an accessory structure?

The minimum separation distance from a sewage tank to an accessory structure is 10 feet. This requirement is essential to ensure safety and sanitation. The separation helps to minimize the risk of odor or potential contamination that may arise from the sewage tank affecting the accessory structure. It also allows for maintenance and inspection access to the sewage system without disrupting the use of the adjacent structures.

This distance is part of the overall regulations governing septic systems, which are designed to protect public health and the environment. Other distances, such as between a sewage tank and property lines or wells, are regulated as well, but the 10-foot distance specifically addresses the concern of protecting surrounding structures from possible sewage-related issues.
