THE PROBLEM
Why your septic tank matters
Your septic tank plays a crucial role in our local ecosystem. Older systems can release excess nutrients into our waterways, contributing to harmful algal blooms that threaten iconic areas like the Norfolk Broads, the River Eden and Somerset Levels.
These nutrients deplete oxygen levels, harming fish and other aquatic life that make our countryside special.
Meanwhile, these same nutrient pollution concerns have stalled housing developments in rural areas, affecting local economies and communities. As a septic tank owner, you have a unique opportunity to be part of the solution.
