Specialist Sewer Connections
Whether it’s a housing estate, a retail park, or a large-scale mixed-use scheme, foul and surface water drainage must be designed and installed to standards before adoption by the local water authority. Getting it wrong can lead to costly delays, redesigns, and adoption challenges.

We provide specialist Section 278 sewer connection services that take the risk and uncertainty out of the process. Our drainage specialists bring decades of experience delivering both straightforward and complex schemes, from simple sewer adoptions to deep drainage in challenging ground conditions.
A complete package of sewer connection services
Our teams are equipped to handle every element of new-build drainage, including:
Sewer diversions & new connections.
Surface water drainage schemes.
Flood alleviation works.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) installation.
Deep drainage & timber headings.
Culvert construction and maintenance.
Waste treatment and interceptor installation.
CCTV surveys, jetting, and maintenance services.
By offering a turnkey package, we reduce the need for multiple subcontractors and ensure that works are coordinated with wider Section 278 highway improvements.
Supporting adoption and approvals
Sewer connections can be complex, involving approvals from both the local highway authority and the water authority. Vista acts as the single point of contact, liaising with stakeholders and managing the technical approvals process on your behalf.
Sustainable drainage solutions
Sustainable drainage has never been more important. Vista is committed to delivering environmentally responsible drainage solutions, using SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) to reduce flood risk, improve water quality, and support biodiversity.
