Local Knowledge
Derbyshire is unusual in having three sewerage companies. Severn Trent covers Derby and most of the county, but Yorkshire Water runs the sewers in the Rother and Don catchment — Chesterfield, Staveley, Bolsover and Dronfield — even where Severn Trent supplies the water, and Clay Cross is split between the two. United Utilities covers Glossop in the High Peak, which is outside our area.
Much of eastern Derbyshire is former coalfield, so before excavation or new drainage it's worth checking the address on the government's coal mining checker. Derby itself sits largely on Mercia Mudstone, a clay that drains slowly and moves with the seasons — hard on older rigid clay pipes and a poor bet for soakaways without testing.
Derbyshire County Council says around 1,600 properties in the county flooded during Storm Babet in October 2023, with Chesterfield, Long Eaton, Sandiacre, Ilkeston and Langley Mill among the places hit.
Each town page covers the postcodes, the sewerage company, who clears the road gullies and what we know about the local drains.

In England you're responsible for the drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary. Pipes you share with neighbours, lateral drains beyond your boundary and the sewers themselves have been the water company's responsibility since private sewers were transferred on 1 October 2011.
Severn Trent Water runs the public sewers in Derby, Erewash, Amber Valley, South Derbyshire and the Derbyshire Dales.
Yorkshire Water runs the sewers in Chesterfield, Staveley, Bolsover and Dronfield (the Rother and Don catchment), even though Severn Trent supplies drinking water to much of that area. Clay Cross sits on the watershed and is split between the two, street by street.
Swadlincote's drinking water comes from South Staffs Water, but its sewers are Severn Trent's. Glossop (United Utilities) is outside our area.
Road gullies belong to Derbyshire County Council, or to Derby City Council inside the city.
