Waste and Recycling
FREE Septic Tank Upgrade Scheme
Our Rivers are working to improve water quality and protect our local environment. As part of this effort, we are offering free septic tank upgrades to eligible households in your area.
Published: 28 August 2025
Older septic tank systems provide only basic wastewater treatment, which can lead to nutrient pollution in rivers and streams. In contrast, modern package treatment plants offer higher quality treatment to improve water quality and support our natural environment.
We understand that some households in your parish may rely on septic tanks, and these homeowners have a unique opportunity to be part of the solution.
Please find attached our Homeowner Information Letter, which outlines the scheme.
