Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Thatcham?
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 Thatcham these belong to Thames Water, so faults on them can be reported to Thames Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
West Berkshire Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Thatcham.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through West Berkshire Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
