    In the document at 12.4 of Law Society Property Information pack, how do I know if surface water and foul water is connected to the mains sewer

    Good morning, assuming the property belongs to you, the easiest thing to do is phone your water company billing department and they will tell you if you are charged for surface water and foul water. Alternatively if you have a copy of your water bill, it will say if you are charged for these services on there.

    The assumption is that if you are being charged, then you should be connected. There are occasions where properties are incorrectly billed, but these are quite rare.

    If you aren't connected to mains sewers, there will be some alternative means of disposing of your foul sewage and surface water, such as a septic tank, soak-away or SUDs.

    If you are still unsure, please feel free to email Laura at [email protected] or telephone 0800 023 5030 and she I'll be able to advise further.

    Thank you,

    Hi Nick,
    Many thanks for your note. In fact before I picked up your message, yesterday, my wife gave me an old bill which stated that we are connected to mains for surface water as per charge.
    You were spot on.
    Cheers,
    Alan
