Guernsey's cesspit-emptying operation is due to be taken over entirely by Guernsey Water.
It's currently run jointly with States Works, with one organisation managing public-facing aspects like billing and customer service and the other operating the tankers, scheduling collections and employing 36 drivers.
Around 5,500 residents and businesses in Guernsey rely on the service to dispose of over 500 million litres of wastewater each year, as their properties are not connected to the mains drains.
Guernsey Water says the service will be brought in-house to simplify and streamline the operation, but no jobs are at risk.
Andrea Simpson, the company's Business Change Manager said: "This is about change behind the scenes that will align customer service more closely with collection scheduling and tanker operations."
"Wastewater collection volumes won’t change, and the same number of drivers will still be required. Collections will continue as normal; the main visible difference will be the uniform worn by drivers, which will carry the Guernsey Water logo instead of States Works."
The transition is due to take place "during 2026".
