Our drains at work run into a cesspit and the rainwater runoff is meant to go to a soakaway in the forecourt.

This is all a bit of guesswork as the building was built in the 70's and we can't find any drain layout plans.

Is there anyone local that would be able to come and take a look to see if that's correct?

My concern is that we seem to be generating roughly 1,300 gallons of waste a month into the cesspit which seems exceedingly high so I'm wondering if some of the rainwater is going that way as well. If it is I'll cut the bottoms off the downpipes and let it run across the ground.
