Please note that Cyprus Law now requires those who operate a bio system to have a licence. An operator is classed as 'the natural or legal person who operates or controls the installation, or which has been given decisive power in respect of its technical operation'.
Some maintenance contractors are contacting complexes with a bio system to inform them that the management committee of that complex must by law obtain a licence and that this will cost the complex in the region of €1500. This licence is renewable every four years.
The requirement for the licence appears to fall on those who either instal and/or maintain bio systems and/or who arrange for removal of the effluent on a regular basis so that the authorities can ensure that the bio system is not causing pollution and that the effluent is being disposed of correctly.
If copies of the law [translated into English] are required by complexes or individuals with a bio system, please contact me on toffee@primehome.com and I will email the information I have.
