We are able to offer advice on drainage issues as a part of our public health duty. Private drainage including cesspits and septic tanks are the responsibility of the owners or occupiers it serves. For tenanted properties, this responsibility lies with the landlord.
Dudley Council is responsible for managing surface water flooding across the borough.
Our Resilience and Emergency Planning Team have produced a Multi-Agency Flood Response Plan which details the arrangements to respond to major flood emergencies. The plan:
- Identifies types of flood risk in Dudley
- Outlines activation procedures for the emergency response to flooding
- Agrees with areas of responsibility between organizations
