How it affects you

How you are affected by the transfer of private sewers depends on the type of property you live in - this is due to the way the sewers and drains are connected.

The short video above gives an overview of the sewer transfer. You can then watch one of the videos below that illustrate how each property type is affected.

Just click on the type of property you live in from the list below.

• Detached
• Semi-detached
• Terraced  
• Flats  

Customer leaflet

During July 2011, we sent a leaflet to the owners of all properties in our area that may be connected to our sewer network to notify them of the change in law, which you can download below.
