Work near public sewers

If you are carrying out building work to your property, you will need to consider whether the work will affect a public sewer. Part H4 of the Building Regulations imposes certain controls over what can and can't be done if building work falls within three metres of a sewer.

Use the links for your water provider to find out how to contact them and what you need to do.
