Misconnections

In conjunction with the Environment Agency, local authorities and the local community, we are working to reduce pollution in rivers and streams resulting from misconnections.

These occur where household appliances, including toilets and washing machines are incorrectly plumbed into the surface water sewer, instead of the foul sewer for treatment.

Our Pollution Control team manage an ongoing programme to identify wrongly connected pipework in residential areas and are committed to seeing this is rectified.
