Does anyone know much about these schemes? We've been approached two or three times recently by companies offering to replace our septic tank with a modern one for free, and give us some cash, and service it for free for five years so they can sell on the phosphate credits to developers who have house-building projects that are stuck in planning due to problems over potential phosphate emissions.
On the face of it the idea quite appeals, not least because our "septic tank" is actually a leaky (in both directions) brick box buried behind the house and is bound to become my problem if we want to sell the house before I go to the big compost heap in the sky.
I can't find much about the schemes online however, other than from companies who are doing the installations, which makes me a little apprehensive. I'd be much happier getting involved if there were at least a few people online saying stuff like "We had it done, it was very straightforward and it's all worked out nicely".
