Sewer Connections

There are two types of sewer connections for domestic properties. Under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991, owners of any domestic property are entitled to have foul and surface water from their property connected to the public sewerage system. Section 101A of the Act deals with two or more properties, not connected to mains drainage, with private systems running into septic tanks or cesspools or directly to a watercourse, where an environmental and/or amenity problem exists or be likely to arise.
