Who's responsible for drains in Clitheroe?
In Clitheroe, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, United Utilities is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Ribble Valley.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to United Utilities rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Clitheroe affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the BB7, BB8, BB9 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
