The vast majority of the Clare homeowners have registered their septic tanks ahead of the beginning of inspections.
Almost 19,500 householders here, or 98% of those with domestic wastewater treatment systems, have complied with the scheme introduced by government in light of a European Court of Justice ruling regarding their environmental impact.
