New sewer connections - S106
If you’re building a new home or development, you probably want to connect to one of our sewerage pipes so that we can take away your wastewater to treat, clean and return to the environment.
For a home or building
If you need a new connection to our sewer network, then the first step in the process is deciding whether the sewer or lateral drain you are connecting to is outside or inside of your property boundary.
This graphic will help you decide which category your property fits into:
Outside property boundary
If the public sewer is outside of your property’s boundary, then due to Welsh Government regulation you will probably need to get an adoption agreement in place before you start building. This is also called a ‘section 104’ or ‘s104’ application.
What to do if you need an adoption agreement
When the public sewer is outside of your property’s boundary, you need to apply for our adoption agreement. Once this adoption agreement is in place, you can then apply for a new sewer connection

If the public sewer is inside your property’s boundary, then you do not need an adoption agreement. All you need is to request a new connection from us. This is also called a ‘section 106’ or ‘s106’ application.
If you have any queries on the process, our guidance notes at the bottom of this page should be able to help.
