Explaining sewerage law and clarifying your legal knowledge
Back by popular demand, this one-day workshop explored the complex legal framework concerning drains and sewers and its impacts on EHPs across the UK.
Recent cases from the last few years have highlighted the confusion amongst the profession and sewerage undertakers, raising the urgent need for clear definitions of the issues and good practice guidance.
