Free septic tank upgrades for cleaner water

Protect our rivers – Apply for a FREE septic tank upgrade

Did you know that old septic tanks can leak harmful nutrients into nearby rivers, threatening water quality and local wildlife? The good news is that modern treatment systems can remove up to 90% more pollution, directly helping to keep our rivers clean and healthy.

As a septic tank owner, you can be part of this important solution!

We have partnered with Our Rivers and Binder to upgrade outdated septic tanks in key catchments across Norfolk. What sets this scheme apart is that a percentage of any profit made will be reinvested into local river restoration, habitat improvement, and community-led environmental benefits.

Signing up helps create a cleaner, richer, and more biodiverse future for our rivers.

Check if your property is in a priority catchment area and learn more at: www.ourrivers.co.uk
