    Approved Version Sewerage Sector Guidance Appendix C

    2.1
    25 May 2021

    B1 SCOPE

    1. This Part gives guidance on the design and construction of gravity, foul and lateral drains, and
    sewers. For guidance on surface water sewer systems see Part C, and for guidance on sewage
    pumping stations see Part D.

    B2 SEPARATE SYSTEMS

    1. Separate foul and surface water systems should be provided.

    2. If sewers are to discharge into an existing combined (single pipe) sewer system, the separate foul
    and surface water sewers should be combined at locations immediately upstream of the point where
    they discharge into the existing combined sewer system. The levels should be arranged to minimise the
    risk of foul sewage entering into the surface water system.

    3. Natural watercourses, land drainage and groundwater are not permitted to be directly or indirectly
    connected to the public foul sewer system (see A9).

    B3 HYDRAULIC DESIGN

    B3.1 Foul Sewers and Lateral Drains

    1. The peak design flow rates for dwellings should, at the discretion of the designer, be either:

    a) calculated in accordance with BS EN 12056-2 System II (this method is recommended for this
    application in BS EN 16933-2); or
    b) 4000 litres per dwelling per day (0.05 litres per second per dwelling). Note: This is a design
    peak flow rate not a daily average water usage, and represents the peak flow rate from a
    number of appliances. Reducing daily water usage does not necessarily reduce the peak flow
    rate.

    2. Design flows for industrial and commercial developments can contain two elements: domestic flows
    (flows from toilets and kitchens, etc.) and trade effluent flow (wastewater from industrial processes 1).
    The total peak design flow is the sum of the domestic design flow and the trade effluent design flow.

    a) The domestic design flow should be calculated in accordance with BS EN 12056-2System II


    (see also BS EN 16933-2) or, in the absence of appropriate information, 0.6 litres per second
    per hectare of developable land;
    b) The trade effluent design flow should be based on a metered discharge from premises similar
    to that proposed, or assumed as 0.5 litres per second per hectare for normal industry and
    1 litre per second per hectare for wet industry. Where the proportion of wet industry is
    unknown, an average flow of 0.7 litres per second per hectare should be used.

    1 Developers are reminded that the occupier of the building will be required to make a separate application to
    discharge any trade effluent flows.
