Drinking water is piped over from the mainland (200 yards away, undersea pipeline I believe).
My house has a septic tank and soakaway, so I expect every house does. I have the same here on Arran, and I’ve not had to have the tank emptied in 17 years so I must be doing something right in managing it ....
