Before you are ready to apply for a new sewer connection, you must: 

1. Know where the sewer you want to connect to is 
2. Know the type of connection you need 
3. Have your contractor’s contact details, health and safety policy, a site-specific risk assessment, and a method statement 
4. Ensure your contractor has any relevant licenses from your local council 
5. Know if there are any pipes or assets belonging to us that need to be moved 
6. Have permission to lay a pipe on land owned by a third party if necessary 
7. Have evidence to show the need for a surface water sewer connection if you’re not using a soakaway 
8. Be planning to begin work in the next 6 months 

Do not begin your application if you don’t have all the necessary information. 

You need our approval for each connection you make to existing sewers. You will have to pay a fee for each connection.
