Hi,
I understand that most private sewers have transferred ownership to the water companies now.
We are considering adding an en-suite to a bedroom - trouble is that the soil stack is on the completely opposite side of the house.
However, on the side of the house where the en-suite would be located there is a private road that leads to 2 properties. Under this road is a foul drain that serves these two properties (I know cos I've lifted the manhole cover in the road).
Question is whether the drain is public or private, given it's on a private road.
Ta,
Ben
