The message
from "Peter Crosland" contains these words:

"This will hopefully serve as a warning to the owners of properties
served
by cesspools to check that their cesspools do not have any discharge
pipes,
holes or cracks which could discharge untreated sewage to the
environment."

So where does that leave householders who have ancient septic tanks that
were installed under a laxer (or indeed non existent) regime?


If they live out in the sticks and not near any jobsworths they should be
quite happy.
Septic Tanks are not cesspools BTW.

Long may the carbon cycle reign
