A Section 106 foul connection is the formal legal process required to connect a property’s wastewater (foul) system to the public sewer network safely and compliantly,
Applications typically take 4–8 weeks, depending on the response times of the relevant water authority and the complexity of the project.
The connection costs are usually covered by the developer or property owner, including any associated fees for approvals and infrastructure works.
