Sewage Collection

If you move into a property with a cesspit you need to notify the Department and make arrangements for the removal of sewage from your premises.

There are two options available for the collection of sewage you can either:
  • elect to have sewage collected at random by telephoning in advance or
  • set up a permanent regular booking e.g. 1 load every 2 weeks depending on your individual circumstances.
Please call 247163 for advice and to make the necessary arrangements.

If your property is vacated or connected to the main drain you are responsible for cancellation of any regular order in writing.

Charges

Sewage collection charges are currently set at £10.00 per load (1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007) and are reviewed by the Public Services Department on an annual basis.

In an out of hours emergency an additional charge will be levied which is currently up to a maximum of £45.00 per call out.

Out of Hours Emergencies

If a cesspit urgently needs emptying or it is overflowing, outside of office hours, please contact the Fire Brigade on 724491.
