Private drainage remains the owner's responsibility. Adoptable drainage is built to authority standards and transferred after testing and a maintenance period — scope and records differ materially.

Testing typically includes pressure testing, CCTV where specified, and manhole level checks. Adoption packages need records aligned to the adopting authority's checklist.

Yes. Phasing is common on larger sites so foul routes, attenuation and plot connections align with earthworks and road construction sequences.
