New Sewer Connection process :

Step 1:

Before we can start the application, it is important for us to understand the reason why you require a new connection. Often a new sewer connection is required because the property is a new build or currently has an off mains drainage system that needs to be replaced. Our new sewer connection team are here to guide you every step of the way.

Step 2:

We will arrange a site visit to talk through the scope of works and to answer any questions you might have about your new sewer connection.

Step 4:

Our new sewer connection team will start the application to your local council (Section 50 and Section 171) in order to gain permission to carry out these works. All of our new sewer connection team hold a NRSWA Street Works licence and are accredited to carry out work within the public highway.

Step 5:

At this point it is important to get permission from your local water authority, the section 106 application will be made to the local authority in order to gain consent to discharge waste into the public sewer system.

Step 6:
