Our Sewerage Environmental Incentive Scheme relates to only brownfield developments that currently discharge surface water to a combined or foul sewer.

 

This incentive is available per plot, and you can apply for this at the time of your sewerage connection application.  To qualify for this incentive, you must be able to demonstrate (initially through the design of your proposed on-site network), that all surface water will be removed from the public combined or foul sewer.

The surface water will need to be disposed of using one of these methods: 

 

  • Rainwater harvesting re-use 
  • Infiltration methods  
  • Discharge to an open surface water body  
  • Discharge to surface water sewer, highway drain or other drainage system at a reduced rate .

For every plot eligible for the discount, we'll organise payment of the incentive amount of £300.  In order to apply and qualify for the discount, follow these steps:  


Step 1:  Provide us your plans that detail how you will meet the above criteria 
Step 2:  Once you are connected, please contact us within 6 months of your completed connection, and we will conduct a site visit to inspect the connection and validate that all surface water has been removed 
Step 3:  If we are satisfied that all surface water has been removed from the public combined, or foul sewer, we will pay the incentive.   
 
If we're not satisfied that the criteria has been met, the application for the incentive scheme will be cancelled and we'll be unable to make the incentive payment.
