If your site has no means of drainage to an existing public sewer due to third party land, you can requisition (formally request) a new public sewer. This means we can provide both foul and surface water sewers to serve the site.

Where an outfall to a watercourse, pond or other open surface water feature is required to serve the surface water network, a Deed of Grant of Easement in Anglian Water’s favour must be granted by the landowner before a requisition Agreement can be entered into. Please download the ‘Deed of Easement’ document below for further information.

Apply to formally request a public sewer or public lateral drain

The 'Developer delivered requisition of sewer or public lateral drain' application form which is on our online portal InFlow, should be used to requisition a new public sewer or public lateral drain under Section 98 of the Water Industry Act 1991 and the Water Act 2003 where you propose to design and construct the works under Section 30 of the Anglian Water Authority Act 1977.

If you require Anglian Water to design and deliver the sewer requisition, please contact our Growth, Planning & Capacity Team on 03456 066 087 before completing the form.

Please apply via InFlow.
