Engineering, drainage and water

The engineering, drainage and water team offers advice and support to residents on land drainage matters.

The services offered cover three areas:

• Flooding and Land Drainage -  to limit and control damage from flooding by forward planning and making sure the district’s surface water and land drainage systems perform satisfactorily
• Land and Water Quality - to safeguard the environment and protect human health from the impacts of contamination and pollution
• Private Sector Drainage - to investigate problems with drainage throughout the district and ensure that blockages in private and public sewers are dealt with by the responsible persons

Public sewers within Epping Forest District are the responsibility of Thames Water Utilities Limited
