Connecting your site drainage system to a public sewer offers several advantages, particularly if you have a public sewer in relatively close proximity to your site boundary. Compared to connecting your private sewer to a septic tank or sewage treatment plant, opting for a connection to a public sewer can be more favourable for managing waste from your property.

One of the key benefits of making a connection from private sewers over to the public sewer is the efficiency and reliability it offers in waste management. Public sewers are part of a larger network maintained by local authorities or water companies, ensuring proper management and disposal of wastewater. This means you can rely on the public sewer system to efficiently transport and treat sewage from your property, reducing the risk of backups or overflows that may occur with private septic tanks or sewage treatment plants.

Furthermore, connecting both foul water and surface water flows to the public sewer system is ideal for comprehensive waste management. By connecting both types of wastewater through existing pipe into the public sewer network, you can ensure proper treatment and disposal, minimising the risk of pollution and contamination of surrounding environments.

Additionally, connecting to a public sewer can offer cost savings in the long run. While there may be initial costs associated with installing the necessary infrastructure for connection, such as sewer pipes and access points, the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of a public sewer system are handled by the local water company. This eliminates the need for regular maintenance, servicing and desludging required for private septic tanks, potentially saving you both time and money in the future.

Connecting to the sewer network can be more environmentally friendly compared to relying solely on private septic tanks. Public sewer systems are designed to collect and treat sewage in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of pollution and contamination of groundwater sources. By connecting foul water and surface water to a public sewer, you can contribute to the protection of the environment and ensure responsible waste management practices for your property.

In summary, choosing a direct sewer connection, especially if you have access to a public sewer near your site boundary, offers numerous benefits in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility. By opting for a combined sewer connection and connecting both foul water and surface water flows, you can ensure reliable and comprehensive waste management for your property while minimising the risks and costs associated with a private septic tank or sewage treatment plants.

For properties located next to a road, a lateral sewer connection may be necessary, passing beneath the roadway or adjacent land.

During the site inspection, we identify the proposed lateral drain connection point, ensuring a smooth integration with the combined sewer and considering the site boundary.

After completing the connection work and making a new sewer connection, obtaining a Certificate of Satisfactory Inspection is crucial. Our workmanship undergoes scrutiny by Water Authority Inspectors, emphasising the importance of choosing a reputable drainage specialist to ensure swift approval.
