Septic Tanks - Scotland

This dataset is an amalgamation of licenced SEPA, Scottish Water, Assessors and some Local Authorities Septic Tanks in Scotland.

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 also 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 the Scottish Assessors collect some as well. SEPA, Local Authorities, Scottish Water and Scottish Assessors are keen to combine data to create a complete and comprehensive view of all Septic Tanks in Scotland, although this work is not yet compete

本数据集汇聚了苏格兰环境保护署（SEPA）、苏格兰水务公司、评估师以及部分地方当局所许可的化粪池数据。根据1990年环境保护法第79条及2013年苏格兰水资源法第6部分第37条，SEPA、苏格兰水务公司及地方当局均有责任对苏格兰境内化粪池的注册、管理与合规性进行监管。苏格兰评估师目前识别出678个化粪池，这些化粪池为多住宅提供服务。仅为一住宅服务的化粪池可被视为住宅的附属设施，即它们被归类为家庭化粪池，并在地方税级中体现。SEPA约有一季度化粪池已进行标注，这是因为自2012年起，在买卖房屋时，这些化粪池须获得许可。苏格兰水务公司拥有部分信息，而苏格兰评估师也收集了部分数据。SEPA、地方当局、苏格兰水务公司和苏格兰评估师均渴望合并数据，以创建苏格兰所有化粪池的完整且详尽的视图，尽管此项工作尚未完成。
