Understanding Your Role in Septic Tank Maintenance
As a septic tank owner, it’s vital to grasp the significance of responsible and regular septic tank maintenance. Neglecting this duty could lead to the septic tank becoming an issue for the public, the environment, or public health β thereby involving your local council authority.
Keeping your septic tank or cesspit well-maintained is not just good practice; it’s a legal requirement to stay compliant.
To determine if a permit is necessary for your tank, consult the Environment Agency. Upholding these responsibilities ensures that your septic tank operates within legal boundaries while safeguarding the environment and the community.
