Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Shoreham-by-Sea?
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 Shoreham-by-Sea these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
West Sussex County Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Shoreham-by-Sea.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through Adur 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.
