At ConnecRightUK we have developed a checklist for property owners to check if their homes or part of their homes are connected to the wrong drainage? #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023

Here’s the quick & easy checklist https://t.co/krufyN40Gq

@NatResWales Excellent piece article 👍

In a previous blog for #NationalDrainageMisconnectionsDay our environment officer discusses the challenges and lengths we have to go to, to get to the bottom of the problem https://t.co/KLMNXvJ8vr

[Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales @NatResWales]

Our officers undertake assessments of surface water outlets to help us discover if sewage is entering streams through misconnected foul drainage. This information is then fed into our misconnections action plan with local councils and water companies 👷‍♀️ 👷🏼

[Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales @NatResWales]

Household wastewater incorrectly plumbed into surface water drains causes sewage, cooking fats and oils, and detergents to pollute our rivers and streams 💩🐟

Identifying which properties are causing the problem can often be difficult, particularly in urban areas.

[Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales @NatResWales]

Mae dŵr gwastraff cartrefi sydd wedi ei blymio'n anghywir i ddraeniau dŵr wyneb yn achosi i garthffosiaeth, brasterau coginio ac olew, a glanedyddion lygru ein hafonydd a'n nentydd

Yn aml gall fod yn anodd nodi pa eiddo sy'n achosi'r broblem, yn enwedig mewn ardaloedd trefol.

It’s #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay!

We’re spending £220,000 on fixing them, and since 2022, we’ve found 280 misconnections!

Would you know how to spot one? Our Misconnection Team Manager, Rob has some advice….

What do you think 🤔 is the most misconnected outlets found at properties #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023

[ConnectRight @ConnectRightUK]

@powell_peter @WelshDeeTrust @DyfrdwyCymru Hope our campaign can help raise some awareness and education.

[ConnectRight @ConnectRightUK]

Most misconnections are caused because of this type of activity and people just don’t realise the risk of how they can pollute the environment in this way. For more information please visit our website on https://t.co/jBqFZPj8I1

[ConnectRight @ConnectRightUK]

If you are planning to move your washing machine to an outbuilding or shed, refurbishing kitchens or bathrooms or adding an extension to your property, please check where you will be reconnecting the waste pipes, to ensure they are connected to the correct systems.

It’s #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023 🚽

When toilets, washing machines, dishwashers and showers are incorrectly plumbed, they're 'misconnected' and can cause pollution.

Use our guide to find out if your home is misconnected👉 https://t.co/dULdWIG68J

[Wessex Water @wessexwater]

Meet our Streamclean team who locate plumbing mistakes and help customers resolve them.

Each year they discover 100s of homes whose appliances have been misconnected to the wrong drain.
