Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Alton?
Your own drain
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours to maintain. Many home insurance policies cover accidental damage to them.
Shared drains & public sewers
Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or running beyond your boundary are usually public sewers. In Alton these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
Hampshire County Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Alton.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through East Hampshire District Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
