What is the difference between a Private and a Public
sewer?
A private sewer is any pipe serving more than one property and
the majority of domestic houses are connected to a private
sewer.
All private sers eventually lead to a public sewer and these
will be the responsibility of Severn Trent Water.
Who is responsible for flooding and drainage?
Worcestershire County Council is responsible for maintaining
highway drainage. The county council is responsible for the removal
of surface water from the carriageway and footway as quickly as
possible under normal weather conditions.
How do I report either flooding drainage or both?
