Private Pumping Stations
Private sewage pumping stations will not transfer on 1st October
2011. These should gradually be adopted by water companies and
the government has set a date of October 2016 at which point all
private pumping stations which meet the transfer criteria will be
transfered.
The same rules will apply to private pumping stations as the
sewers. i.e. all private pumping stations which serve more than one
property, or those outside the property boundary of the property
they serve, will transfer. This is a complex area and we suggest
you seek advice from your Local Water Authority
Private Sewers that are connected to private pumping stations
will transfer to the water and sewerage company on October
2011.
Sewage treatment, septic tanks and cesspits are not subject to
transfer at any time.
