Pumping to a higher level before discharge is also used where there needs to be protection from downstream sewer surcharge (sewer backflow). Sewage pumping installations for use inside buildings should be designed in accordance with BS EN 12056-4. Larger systems may use buried collection tanks with submersible macerating pumps. For small houses and apartments there are several specialist manufacturers that produce “behind the toilet” pumping units for sewage and/or greywater.’
