NOTICE TO RESIDENTS WITH SEPTIC TANKS.

Please be aware that, to comply with recent legislation, homeowners with a septic tank

 or a package sewage treatment plant must register their systems with the

Environment Agency as soon as possible, or obtain an environmental permit . The EA

 need to know where all the systems are, so they can focus their work on those

contributing to environmental problems.   More details, including the registration

 application process, can be found at http://www.environment-

agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/118753.aspx

This is NOT a responsibility that falls within the remit of Cotswold District Council but

 we are aware that some householders will not be aware of this requirement, and would

 appreciate it if you could alert residents in your parishes.  We will also be issuing a

brief reminder on our council website www.cotswold.gov.uk.
