When we get your enquiry, we’ll check if the public sewer network can accept the wastewater flows from your proposed development. We’ll also suggest points of discharge where your development can connect to our network, as well as any measures that may be needed to protect our assets during the works.
If there’s not enough capacity in the existing public sewer network to serve your site, we’ll let you know and suggest some potential solutions, including a feasibility study and possible upgrades to the sewer network.

What we'll do
We'll aim to respond to all pre-planning sewerage enquiries in writing within 21 days of receipt of payment with our views on the public sewer network, including comments on availability with a complementary extract of the Statutory Sewer Map.
Our comments will be made based on a 'desk top' study, so the more information we have the better informed our response will be.
