Any help appreciated!! Looking to build a house on my husband's land and we have recently had our trial holes dug and percolation tests completed. There is water at the bottom of the large trial hole. My engineer said that the council won’t be happy with the water in the hole after such a prolonged dry spell. Water table seems to be sitting at about 1.70m BGL. Is there anything we can do with this? Surely our engineer could suggest a waste treatment system suitable for this site in our planning application or is this a definite no go? Looking for any advice from anyone who may have been in a similar situation with their water table and got around it. Septic tank system for my husband's home house is also to the right of our site and there has never been any issues with that septic tank overflowing or seeping out etc..
