Hi,
Don't know if I'm posting in the right place but here goes.
We are about to build an extension and have been sent an application form to build over or close to a public sewer.
They want a minimum of £256 to do a cctv survey of the drains. They say we are building near a main sewer.
So can anyone tell me what is classed as a mains sewer?
We are building at the back of the house near a manhole cover but don't know if this is a mains sewer. We have a total of 3 manhole covers down the side of the house are these all mains sewers??
The water company say if we aren't building within 3 metres we can write to them and they will ok it without cctv.
We are building within 3 metres of the back manhole cover - v. confused!!!
