Connection charging arrangements

Find out about our charges for connecting a property to the public water supply or a public sewer.

We collect and dispose of wastewater across the south east of England, and supply water in parts of this region. Water is supplied in the rest of the region by other water supply companies – contact them for more about their charges.

The information below applies when you intend to connect premises to the public water supply or a public sewer, even if you are using an existing drainage connection. It explains the liability to pay infrastructure charges directly to Southern Water in addition to the cost of making the connection.
