Using a self-lay provider
Self-lay providers could offer a cost and time effective solution for your construction programme.
Connecting to a sewer
Find out timescales, charges and other information about connecting your development to our public sewerage system.
Trade effluent
If you need to dewater sites, remove groundwater or discharge any liquid waste from your construction work, you'll need to apply for consent.
Building over sewers or public drains
If you plan to build over or near our pipes, you can easily apply for an agreement online.
Adopting a new or existing sewer
Speak to us about adopting a sewer or a pumping station, before you start construction.
Diverting or closing a sewer
If you need to alter or remove a public sewer on your development site, you can apply for a diversion.
Requisitioning a sewer
If your development has no drainage to an existing public sewer because third party land is in the way, we can provide both a foul and surface water sewer to serve the site.
