Connecting a new property requires a formal process. First, you must submit an application to the local water authority that manages the public sewer network in your area. This involves providing detailed plans of your property's private drainage system and showing where it will connect to the main sewer. Our team can manage this entire process for you, from the initial application to the physical connection works, ensuring all requirements are met.

Yes, absolutely. It is illegal to connect to a public sewer without getting formal consent from the relevant statutory water company first. You need to make a formal application, which they will review to make sure your proposed connection won't negatively impact the existing public network. They will then grant a permit for the work to be carried out by an approved contractor like Avery Drainage Solutions.

Typically, the local utility provider will require detailed information about your project. This includes a site location plan, detailed drainage layout drawings showing the routes of foul and surface water pipes, pipe depths and gradients, and information on the property itself. The application is designed to show that your new private drainage meets all technical and legal requirements before it is connected to the public system.

In most modern systems, you cannot. It is a requirement to keep foul water (from toilets, sinks, showers) and surface water (rainwater from roofs and patios) in separate private drainage systems. The foul water connects to the foul sewer, while surface water should be directed to a dedicated surface water sewer or a soakaway on your property. Connecting them incorrectly can overload the public sewer system and is against regulations.

The property owner is responsible for installing and maintaining the private drain that runs from the property up to the boundary of the public highway. The physical connection to the main public sewer must be carried out by a contractor with the correct qualifications and permissions. Once the connection is made, the water utility company is typically responsible for the public sewer itself.
