Environmental Pollution

Septic tanks and sewage treatment plants inevitably cause pollution to our environment and particularly to local rivers. This can occur as a result of failure to operate correctly, lack of servicing or through not being emptied at least annually consistent with recommendations and legal obligation.

Mottram St, Andrew and Newton do not have mains drainage and we therefore all have the same obligation to look after our environment by ensuring the disposal of our foul water as efficiently as possible. We also have the benefit of two attractive rivers passing through our area the Bollin and the Dean both of which suffer significantly with pollution of various types. We all have the opportunity to contribute to the reduction of that pollution by ensuring that our duty to look after our sewage disposal devices is met. Thank you all for your cooperation.
