We develope ‘ECO’ towns and then install the massive infrastructure required for the very ‘UN-ECO’ centralised sewage treatment works which, even the Environment Agency admit, cause most of the river pollution in the UK.
The UK should examine the new Eco Towns in Australia where every house or collection of houses has its own sewage treatment facility and the only thing leaving the properties is clean water discharged to the surface water drains. It is cheaper, far more effective, future development does not compromise the municipal sewage works’ capacity and far safer for the environment. After all, rural homes in the UK have been doing it for years.
