Webinar: Septic tanks – is yours cleaning or contaminating?

Does your house or business have a septic tank?

Are you based in the Eden catchment (the area roughly between Solway Firth – Kirkby Stephen, Shap to the Pennines fellside)?

Don’t miss this FREE webinar to find out ways to improve the effectiveness of your tank, plus details of new funding that could replace your old, inefficient septic tank with a new system.

Throughout East Cumbria, many houses and businesses in the countryside are not connected to mains sewage. They may have a septic tank (hidden underground on their land) or a small sewage treatment plant that processes the waste instead.

What happens when these septic tanks are not properly maintained or come to the end of their life … and what impact does this have on the health of our rivers, people and wildlife?

Find out the answer to this question and more, including:

• What happens when septic tanks discharge polluted water into local watercourses.
• Hints and tips for keeping your septic tank in top condition.
• What is Nutrient Neutrality and what does it mean for you?
• Details of potential funding to replace your failing septic tank.
