UK initiative aims to upgrade 1,000 septic tanks to protect rivers, funded by government.

Wiltshire Council and Wessex Rivers Trust launched the Revamp Your Tank scheme to upgrade septic tanks to more efficient treatment plants in the Hampshire Avon catchment area. Aimed at reducing nutrient-rich wastewater, the initiative has received nearly 1,000 applications since April and is funded by the Government's Local Nutrient Mitigation Fund, which fast-tracks planning. The project seeks to protect aquatic ecosystems.
