§ Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what proposals he has received for the transfer of maps and records of the sewerage network from the relevant local authorities to the statutory undertakers; and what response he plans to make. [15632]
§ Angela Eagle[holding answer 13 November 19971]No such proposals have been received. Under section 199 of the Water Industry Act 1991 sewerage undertakers are required to keep records of the location and other relevant particulars of every sewer or disposal 5W main vested in the company. Such records should include particulars shown on 31 August 1989 on sewer maps kept by local authorities under section 32 of the Public 32 of the Public Health Act 1936.
Sewerage undertakers are not required to keep maps or records of sewers which have not been adopted.
