Drainage issues
If your query is associated with the location or technical aspects of public sewers, then this Council has plans which show those sewers and advice can be sought from either this section, the Building Control Division or alternatively Southern Water Services. Advice may also be available on the location and responsibility of some drains and sewers if known. Should you need such advice or have a problem with persistent blockages, odours or otherwise defective drains/private sewers then contact Environmental Support.
Adur District Council also operates a house drain clearing service for residents - click here for more details.
Sewer maps can be found on our Geographic Information System (GIS) :
