Do You Utilise A Private Pump Station? Who Is Now
Responsible For It?
2
A pump station is designed to assist in drainage
solutions, managing the transfer of waste water
from a property to a sewage treatment works in
the locality.

They are invaluable where the lie of the land
means gravity alone cannot conduct the run-off of
the waste water to main drain system and onto the
sewage treatment plant. The law changed recently
as regards ownership of private pumping stations.
Previously, ownership of a pump station rest with
the land owner. Now, responsibility and its cost
for maintenance commonly belongs to local
sewerage companies.

However, the pump station in question must serve
more than one property. If your pump station only
serves your own property, you remain responsible
for its running costs. If its impossible to
reassign ownership to your local sewerage
company, approach a company experienced in
managing pump stations. They can advise a package
thatll take the worry out of the daily running
of the facility.
5
Remember, you as the owner of a pump station are
entirely responsible for its running costs unless
adopted by another party. Keep it in good working
order to ensure it serves your property in terms
of removal of sewage and/ or run-off water.
