Thames Water is notifying property owners of upcoming changes to the ownership of private sewers and lateral drains. As of October 1, 2011, private sewers and lateral drains that connect to Thames Water's public sewer system will be transferred to Thames Water's ownership. Property owners will no longer be responsible for maintenance or repairs. However, property owners will still be responsible for internal plumbing and the section of pipe connecting their property to the newly transferred sewer or drain. Thames Water estimates customer bills may increase by £3-14 per year to pay for their new responsibilities maintaining the transferred pipes. Property owners have a limited right to appeal the transfer of ownership to the water industry regulator.

Running agile on a non-agile environmentNuno Caneco
Nuno Caneco shares his experience running an agile project under a waterfall contract. He outlines how the team used agile practices internally while maintaining a waterfall facade for the customer. This included prioritizing epics, 2-week sprints, daily standups, and sprint demos. While allowing internal flexibility, the team kept the fixed scope and timeline communicated to the customer. Key lessons included management support for the hybrid approach and using kanban for stability sprints to address issues quickly. The facade approach allowed agile benefits while meeting contractual obligations.

Legislation has passed that requires water companies to adopt private sewers connected to the public system. Starting October 1st, private sewers meeting this criteria will become public. This changes the responses to certain questions on CON29DW searches. Private pumping stations and some exceptions like sewers on crown land will remain private. A full survey of all private sewers would cost £1 billion so water companies will use existing records to identify most of the sewers transferring to public ownership.
This document provides information about Smart Sewage Solutions Pty Ltd, which provides wastewater treatment systems and rainwater tanks. It introduces their Epsom sand filtration wastewater treatment system, which uses a passive aerobic process with minimal power usage. The system has a large primary tank for dilution and uses layers of sand and fabric for filtration rather than an electric blower. It requires only annual servicing and offers savings over mechanical systems in both electricity and maintenance costs due to its simple design. The document explains the treatment process and benefits of the Epsom system.
The document summarizes the Water Fittings Regulations, which establish national requirements for plumbing systems and water fittings in the UK. It outlines that the regulations apply to all premises connected to a public water supply and require systems to be designed, installed, and maintained to prevent contamination and misuse of water. It also notes that owners, occupiers, and installers are responsible for complying with the regulations, and that advanced notification is required for most installation work.
The document discusses sanitary sewer laterals, which connect homes and buildings to the main sewer system. It notes that the private portion of the lateral between the main and structure is owned and maintained by the property owner. Common issues with laterals include blockages from roots or grease as well as cracks and breaks. The document provides guidance on locating and maintaining laterals and outlines responsibilities of homeowners versus the village.

This letter expresses opposition to plans for an energy-to-waste incinerator in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney. The signatories, who include local elected representatives, have several main concerns: the size and visual impact of the proposed 115m tall incinerator stack, uncertainty around the source and long-term supply of waste, potential health impacts on local communities from emissions, and Covanta's record on industrial relations. They argue the development would be bad for the local area and its people.

2. LEGAL NOTICE
THAMES WATER UTILITIES LIMITED
Notice of proposal to adopt private sewers and lateral drains
To: The owner(s) of private sewers and lateral drains
Thames Water Utilities Limited (a company registered in England and Wales under number
02366661, with its registered office at Clearwater Court, Vastern Road, Reading, RG1 8DB)
(“Thames Water”) gives notice under Sections 102 and 105A of the Water Industry Act 1991 (“the
Act”) that in accordance with a scheme or schemes made by the Secretary of State under the Water
Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011 (“the Transfer Regulations”):
1) on 1 October 2011:
a. any private sewer (excluding pumping stations and highway drains or sewers) situated within
Thames Water’s sewerage area and which, immediately before 1 July 2011, communicates with
a public sewer; and
b. any private lateral drain (excluding pumping stations) which, immediately before 1 July 2011,
communicates with a public sewer vested in Thames Water; and
2) on 1 October 2016, any pumping station which forms part of such a sewer or lateral drain and
has not been transferred to Thames Water before that date;
will transfer to Thames Water and become a public sewer or public lateral drain belonging to
Thames Water unless that private sewer or private lateral drain is subject to an outstanding appeal
under Section 105B of the Act.
This notice does not apply to private sewers or private lateral drains which:
1. are owned by a railway undertaker; or
2. are situated on or under Crown land and Thames Water has received notice in writing before
1 July 2011 from the appropriate authority that the private sewer or private lateral drain
should be exempt.
Any owner of a private sewer, private lateral drain or pumping station or any other person affected
by the proposal to adopt a private sewer, private lateral drain or pumping station, or the failure to do
so, may appeal to the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) within two months of service or
publication of this notice, whichever is the later. The grounds on which you can appeal are set out in
Section 105B(3) of the Act. Ofwat can be contacted at Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham,
B5 4UA or by email to: appealpstransfer@ofwat.gsi.gov.uk
Any terms used in the Transfer Regulations have the same meaning when used in this notice.
Martin Baggs, Chief Executive Officer
3. Dear property owner
We are writing to the owners of all properties in our area that may be connected to our sewer
network. We need to update you on the forthcoming change in law regarding the ownership and
responsibility for privately-owned sewers and lateral drains.
Please read this document. There is nothing to be concerned about and you won’t need to do
anything else.
What are private sewers and lateral drains?
Private sewers and lateral drains are the sections of sewer pipe or drain that are shared with another
person’s property, or run through another person’s land. It’s estimated that up to half of properties
in England and Wales are connected to, and the owner is responsible for, a private sewer.
How will you benefit from this change?
This is good news for you as the change in law means the ownership and maintenance for private
sewers and lateral drains will be transferred to us. This will bring peace of mind to customers and
clarity regarding ownership. The change will take place from 1 October 2011.
You will still be responsible for the sections of pipe between your property / building and the
transferred private sewer or lateral drain.
Included with this leaflet are some useful diagrams which show the change.
How much will it cost?
Little is known about the extent and condition of private sewers and drains. This makes it very hard
to calculate an exact cost for our new responsibilities. The Government estimates that the transfer
could increase customers’ bills by between £3 and £14 per year. We will have a better idea of costs
once we take over the pipes.
This small increase in your bill will protect you against the much larger one-off costs of clearing
blockages and making repairs.
If a problem occurs, we’ll be here to help you understand which pipes have transferred, and
which pipes are still your responsibility. This will help avoid unnecessary call-outs, that we may
charge for.
Included in this leaflet is a legal notice which we are required to give you by law. We have also
included useful information about this change and what to do if you have a problem with your
sewers or drains.
Martin Baggs,
Chief Executive Officer, Thames Water

6. What to do if you have a problem with your sewers
It’s important that you try and identify where the problem is as it may be your responsibility.
You will still be responsible for any internal plumbing and the section of pipe leading to the
private sewer.
If you have a shared sewer, try asking your neighbours if they have a problem. If they don’t,
it’s likely that the problem is on your section of pipe or waste plumbing, meaning you will
need to resolve it yourself.
If your neighbours do have a problem, it may be on a shared section of pipe. Until 1 October
2011, you’re still responsible for any maintenance. After that, you can contact us.
How can you find out more?
You can find out more on our website www.thameswater.co.uk/privatesewers, which includes
a video explaining the change or you can call our dedicated number 0845 0709 150. Lines
are open Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm.
Are you connected to a private pumping station?
Some properties are connected to a private pumping station before they connect into our
main sewer network. It is likely you will know this already if this is the case. Examples of these
situations include small housing developments, remote farms or small business parks.
The Government plans to transfer the ownership of these pumping stations to water
companies on 1 October 2016. Until this time, the owner(s) of the pumping station will
continue to be responsible for its maintenance and repair.
If you are responsible for a pumping station, please visit our website to complete our online
form as we need to find out information about it before we can take over responsibility.
Can you appeal against the transfer?
Yes, however the circumstances in which you can appeal are very narrow. Appeals against the
transfer must be made to the water industry regulator, Ofwat.
You can find out more from the Ofwat web site www.ofwat.gov.uk, or write to them at
Ofwat, Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UA.
This leaflet can be sent to you in braille,
large print or audio format upon request.
