Our officers undertake assessments of surface water outlets to help us discover if sewage is entering streams through misconnected foul drainage. This information is then fed into our misconnections action plan with local councils and water companies 👷♀️ 👷🏼

Household wastewater incorrectly plumbed into surface water drains causes sewage, cooking fats and oils, and detergents to pollute our rivers and streams 💩🐟
Identifying which properties are causing the problem can often be difficult, particularly in urban areas.

3 votes • Final resultsAt ConnecRightUK we have developed a checklist for property owners to check if their homes or part of their homes are connected to the wrong drainage? #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023
Here’s the quick & easy checklist connectright.org.uk/misconne…
If you are planning to move your washing machine to an outbuilding or shed, refurbishing kitchens or bathrooms or adding an extension to your property, please check where you will be reconnecting the waste pipes, to ensure they are connected to the correct systems.
Most misconnections are caused because of this type of activity and people just don’t realise the risk of how they can pollute the environment in this way. For more information please visit our website on connectright.org.uk/

If your property has wastewater pipes discharging to a sewer intended for rainwater only, it will cause pollution to our rivers and seas. The @ConnectRightUK website will help you check for misconnected drains: bit.ly/3x2o2kI #WorldOceansDay
