All residents of TCRCL, check your account with Severn Trent as you may be able to save some money.
If you are paying for removal of surface water you need to contact Severn trent and inform them that all the surface water runs into privately maintained drains that run into ditches, soakaways and a watercourse. Once they have agreed this you can then ask for a refund.
Additionally, a new item on Severn Trent invoices is ‘highway drainage’. Having checked with Severn Trent it does not matter where the highway drains to. Every household in Severn Trent area must pay it. Apparently, we have always paid this but it was hidden within the waste water payment.
If you manage to get this changed please let us know on info@trenchardclose.co.uk & we can update this post
All the relevant contact details can be found on Severn Trent webpage
