I welcome the witnesses. There is one small issue I want to pick up on from the opening statement. There are approximately 500,000 septic tanks in the country, as a ballpark figure. There are 450,000 registered, and that is about 90% of the total. How many people would have private water supplies through their own direct wells or private group water schemes? Would it be in the same range?
