In the interest of the environment
Washer-dryers should be connected to the FOUL
drainage system, the water will then be taken to a
sewage works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected
to the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may
cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.
