I THINK if you use a borehole and your own sewage treatment you dont pay
rates at all.
Do you have to pay sewerage rates if you have a septic tank?

No.

You used to. *And* pay to have the tank emptied. But that stopped some years
ago.

One does however have to pay an extraction licence if one takes water
from a borehole. Otherwise I'd be doing it since we have a good chalk
acquifer available.
