CHAPTER 13 Water and Waste Water services
There are still too many properties on septic tanks in the area. Many of those properties are older, with failing systems and percolation areas that cause risk to nearby waterways. Some are very close to new developments but connection to mains services can still be extremely costly for such houses. Wicklow County Council should do what is possible to encourage and incentivise home-owners to connect to mains services when feasible. When new developments are constructed an effort should be made to connect nearby properties to mains sewer.
