f. Drainage<br />

Mains Drainage:<br />

Should a drain blockage become evident in the Drainage system, it is important that<br />

you contact the <strong>Housing</strong> Association as soon as possible.<br />

The drains to your new <strong>home</strong> are connected to the Public Drainage system. As such,<br />

they are adopted by the Local Authority at the end of the 12 month maintenance<br />

period. Following the 12 month inspection, any problems relating to the drains should<br />

be referred to the Local Authority.<br />

Please note, the majority of household blockages are caused by household<br />

waste, such as, Disposable Nappies, Solidified Fats, etc., and therefore care<br />

should be taken to ensure that none of these are allowed to enter the drainage<br />

system.
