Public Sewer Connection Contractors

Overview

S106 and public sewer connection works

Where private drainage needs to connect into a public sewer, the connection normally requires the sewerage company's consent under the applicable process. The approved connection point, method, inspection arrangements and any highway or land constraints should be clear before construction starts.

Section 106 connection or Section 104 adoption?

A public sewer connection and the adoption of newly constructed sewerage infrastructure are related but different workstreams. A project may need a connection approval as well as a separate Section 104 adoption agreement. The approved documents for the particular site determine the correct route.

Programme coordination

Sewer connection works often need to align with road closures, utility works, water authority inspections or wider development programmes. Early review of approvals and drawings helps keep the plan clear.

Section 106 drainage connection workflow

For an S106 sewer connection, the consent and approved connection details need to be understood before excavation starts. A practical review then checks the connection point, pipe route and levels, access, inspection arrangements, traffic management and reinstatement needs so the works can be planned around the approval.

• Confirm the sewerage company consent and approved connection point
• Check drawings, levels, pipe size and connection method
• Coordinate access, highway requirements and inspection timing
• Complete the connection, testing and reinstatement evidence required for the job

What helps at the first review

For an initial assessment, send the drainage drawing, consent letter, connection approval, site postcode, proposed connection location and any highway or traffic management information.

Private, domestic and managed-site connections

Homeowners, landowners and managing agents may also need help where a private drain must connect to a public sewer or an existing arrangement is unclear. Start by confirming ownership and consent with the sewerage company, then send the available plan, postcode and correspondence for a practical works review.
