Sewer Connections for New Homes in Bognor Regis
2 min readBognor RegisBy AA Drainage
Infill plots and annexes are common across Bognor Regis. Getting the sewer connection sorted early avoids holding up completion.
Approvals you may need
Depending on the job:
- Water company approval to connect to a public sewer
- Street works permits if the sewer is in the road
- Building Control sign-off for the new drainage
- Build-over agreements if building near a sewer
Planning for a shallow sewer
On flat land, the sewer may not be deep enough for a gravity connection from every part of a building. In those cases a small pumping station can be the answer.
Doing the work
We manage the excavation, connection, testing and reinstatement, keeping access open for neighbours and safe for the public.
Frequently asked questions
How long do approvals take?
It varies by water company and job, so apply as early as possible.
Can surface water go to the foul sewer?
Not on new work. Surface water must be dealt with separately.
