Sewerage diversions
We can help with altering or removing sewerage pipes so that developers can carry out proposed improvements.
What do you need to do?
You'll need to apply in writing providing;
- A location plan
- Site layout of the development, with details of sewer(s) crossing the site and the preferred route of diversion(s).
Before submitting your application we recommend reading our guidance notes:
Guidance notes (30kb) . What happens next?
We'll determine the means by which the project will be delivered either;
- As part of a section 104 agreement constructed by the developer in conjunction with adoptable sewers.
- As a minor sewer diversion, constructed by the developer subject to an exchange of letters.
- As a major sewer diversion, constructed by us or by the developer under our supervision and supported by a S185 legal agreement.
Please note we'll need to recover any expenses incurred in carrying out the alteration or removal of any pipes or other apparatus.

Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991 refers to diversions.
