Fairlight, East Sussex

We've been conducting surveys and investigations to fully understand the sewer network in the area. Doing this helps us to identify what solutions will work best for Fairlight.

We're bringing local representatives and community groups together so we can work collaboratively on interventions that will make the most difference.

We're working to invest in and optimise our current water infrastructure to help manage excess amounts of surface water during periods of heavy rainfall.

One of the key ways we plan to reduce the use of storm overflows and flooding is by managing surface water run-off. This includes working alongside the local council to improve highway drainage as well as with local residents to slow the flow of surface water into the sewer through things like slow-drain water butts.
