Septic tank crackdown puts West Cork region at ‘financial disadvantage’

Communities in West Cork will be put at a distinct financial disadvantage because of a crackdown on septic tanks, councillors have warned.

Local representatives fear people in the region will have to pay considerably more than most to have their tanks desludged.

The only sewerage plant in the region capable of disposing of desludged material from septic tanks is in Bandon.
