Private sewage

Private sewage treatment systems are common in the District as the mains sewage system does not cover the entire area.

If you need advice on what may be suitable for your situation you’re considering a new system or an upgrade contact our Environmental Protection and Drainage Team.

Council pumping stations

The council maintain several sewage treatment plants and pumping stations that connect to the mains sewers.

These are maintained with shared input and payments from residents, some of them have recently been adopted by Thames Water.

If you’re not sure who to contact or if you’re connected to one of these pumping stations then please get in touch and we can help direct your enquiry
