Septic Tanks - Clackmannanshire

Under section 79 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Under part 6, section 37 of the Water Resources (Scotland) Act 2013 SEPA, Scottish Water and Local Authorities all have a responsibility for the registration, management and compliance of Septic Tanks within Scotland. The Scottish Assessors currently identifies 678 septic tanks. These are tanks that serve more than one dwelling. Those that serve just one dwelling may be treated as an appurtenance of the dwelling i.e. they are classified as domestic and treated as being reflected in the Council Tax band.

SEPA have approximately a quarter of the Septic Tanks mapped as it has only been a requirement since 2012 that when buying or selling a house that these get licenced. Scottish Water have partial information and Scottish Assessors collect some as well. SEPA, Scottish Water and Scottish Assessors are keen to combine data to create a complete and comprehensive view of all Septic Tanks in Scotland.

Septic tank information should be held by your CTAX/NDR department as they don't pay the sewerage element of Council Tax on Non Domestic Rates. A UPRN or address would be sufficient to provide us if that's all they can provide you.

This dataset will consist of 2 point layers. Septic Tank Location (the location of the Septic Tank) and Septic Tank Properties (addresses which are served by a specific Septic Tank)

"UPRN" and "address" are now MANDATORY fields for this dataset.
