Getting the right drainage
Foul or surface water?
Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.
Building over or near a sewer
Building near a public sewer may need permission from the water company. Check before you dig.
In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
