Albion Water prepares to adopt private sewers.

From 1 October 2011, water and sewerage companies in England and Wales will become responsible for private sewers, which are currently the responsibility of property owners.

This is good news as it means the ownership and maintenance of private sewers and lateral drains will be transferred to us, bringing peace of mind and clarity to you regarding ownership.

Not all private pipes are included. Property owners will remain responsible for the sections of pipe on their land between the property / building and the transferred private sewer or lateral drain.

To help you understand how the change in the law will affect you we will be sending a letter and leaflet to every customer. These will provide further details and a guide to the transfer process.
