If you sell your property, we will know that the sewers/drain have been built and that the work corresponds to our agreement. On request, we will confirm this information to individuals or mortgage lenders acting on behalf of a potential buyer. The inspector will also tell us where the sewers and sewers are, because sometimes we do not have details of the pipes on our mapping systems. We will use this information to update the legally prescribed channel map. A construction agreement allows the water company to ensure that the work to be carried out will not adversely affect the underlying sewers and ensures that the water company continues to have sufficient access to the canal for repair and maintenance. If you plan to build nearby or via a public sewer, you should contact the water company before carrying out the work to determine its needs. Where a public sewer is to be built above it, it must be in good condition and in a permit material. (It must be able to withstand a jetting impression of 2700 psi, indicated in (MED 4006 , South Water Supplement in Sewer for adoption 7 th edition) All sewer companies have legal rights for access to public sewers located on private land. These include sewers located under or near a property. Once building permits have been issued, sewerage companies will generally attempt to seize the sewers without disrupting the land. If this is unavoidable, they will repair all the damage done in reason. This will be defined in the terms of the implementation of agreements.
However, if sewers have been built without authorization, sewerage companies have the right to access and protect by any means they deem appropriate. This may include the requirement that buildings that obstruct or block access to a public channel be modified or removed at the homeowner`s expense. In reality, companies have machines that generally allow them to access a damaged pipe from another point unimpeded and avoid damage wherever possible, but a risk remains. They will also tell us if they find that the affected sewers/sewers are in poor condition or if the soil conditions are unsatisfactory. In this case, we will visit one of our own inspectors on the site to see what needs to happen next. On October 1, 2011, responsibility for private gravity and crosswalks, built prior to July 1, 2011 and communicated with public sewers, was transferred to sewerage companies such as Southern Water. The installation has increased by about 19,000 km the number of sewers and side sewers that are responsible for the water of the south. Many of the sewers and reorientation sewers had not been mapped, so their location and condition are unknown. In the absence of detailed information on the transferred pipes and cross-exits, it can be assumed that they will be present in the gardens and on the land to be built and that they will therefore probably be affected by the construction applications. Therefore, you must consider that any sewer system currently located on your property or discovered during your work is public equipment and southern water property, unless it can be proven otherwise.
We have an agreement or “protocol” with a number of LABCs and certified inspectors, which gives them the power to authorize potential build overs on our behalf, provided they meet certain criteria. Risks covered: the cost of reintroducing the property in the event that access to the flow/channel is required to carry out repair work, and the increased costs incurred by the water service to carry out repairs to the drain/sewer caused by the location of the land by the canal and which the Authority seeks to recover from the insured. Within the southern part of the water, there are approximately 39,000 kilometres of public sewers, some of which have been moved within the boundaries of the land.
