The Dude Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I have existing guttering draining into what appears to be dedicated rainwater drains (if I put a hose down the drain and turn it on I can see water flowing under manhole cover. If I run taps or flush toilets then nothing) Can I drain water from new extension into these? They do not appear to be dual use and it would save me the grief of a soakaway in a heavy clay area.

Mr Punter Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 You can run surface water into surface water drains and foul water into foul water sewers. What are you draining from the extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 A soakaway would not work - we piled to 8m and were still bringing up clay. I explained this to building regs but they didn't want to listen. In any case it looks like I have surface water drains for rainwater from extension so am good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
