Septic Tank Regulations in Scotland

We were, in E & W at least, required a few years back to register all
non-mains sewage disposal arragements. You don't think it possible
that some rural inhabitants may have failed to do so, do you? If they
have a mains water supply then the water boards know who they are, but
if they have a well and haven't registered that they may not be in
anyone's list.

And there are lots of those in many areas, including this one, on private
water for both input and discharge. Of course on their annual council tax
that shows, so 'if' they are paying the council tax their water arrangements
are known too.
