Informatives:

 

1.Water supply and waste connections

 

New water supply and waste water connections will be required from Wessex water to serve this proposed development.  Application forms and guidance information is available from the Developer Services web-pages at www.wessexwater.co.uk.

 

Please note that DEFRA intend to implement new regulations that will require the adoption of all new private sewers.  All connections subject to these new regulations will require a signed adoption agreement with Wessex Water before any drainage works commence.

 

Further information can be obtained from Wessex Water's New Connections Team by telephoning 01225 526222 for Water Supply and 01225 526333 for Waste Water.

 

2.S105a Public Sewers

 

On the 1st October 2011, in accordance with the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011, Wessex Water became responsible for the ownership and maintenance of thousands of kilometres of formerly private sewers and lateral drains (section 105a sewers).

 

At the date of transfer many of these sewers are unrecorded on public sewer maps.  These sewers can be located within property boundaries at the rear or side of any premises in addition to the existing public sewers shown on Wessex Water's record plans.  They will commonly be affected by development proposals and Wessex Water normally advise applicants to survey and plot these sewers on plans submitted for Planning or Building Regulations purposes. 

 

More information relating to this transfer can be found onWessex Water's website.  It is important to undertake a full survey of the site and surrounding land to determine the local drainage arrangements and to contact Wessex Water's sewer protection team on 01225 526333 at an early stage if you suspect that a section 105a sewer may be affected.
