Local Knowledge
Drainage In Alfreton: What We Know
Storm Babet flooded 22 homes at nearby Ironville on the River Erewash, according to Derbyshire County Council.
Many of Alfreton's older streets are mining-era terraces, where rear drain runs are often shared between neighbours.
Sewage from Alfreton is treated at Severn Trent's Alfreton sewage treatment works on Westhouses Road, which discharges into Alfreton Brook. A 2020 Environment Agency permit notice for the works gave a discharge volume of 8,283 cubic metres a day. A blockage in the public sewer beyond your boundary is Severn Trent's to clear.
Alfreton's historic core grew up around the market place at the top of King Street hill and has been a conservation area since 1971, extended in 1974. Coal and iron drew large numbers of workers in the 19th century, and the area's extensive brick terraced housing dates from that period — drains of that age are best checked with a CCTV survey.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Alfreton?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Alfreton, plus any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary. Report a problem with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours) or online.
Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — that's the work we do. Road gullies are Derbyshire County Council's. If you rent, your landlord is normally responsible for the drains.
