Planning Guidance
Drainage and Sewers
Most drains and sewers are privately owned. In these cases, North Warwickshire or Severn Trent Water are not able to assist, the responsibility for clearing and repairing them lies with the landowner(s).
Where sewers are adopted by Severn Trent Water, blockages, leaks and flooding problems arising from overflowing drains should be directed to them.
