@ConnectRightUK Hi there, I've tried to look at your website over the years and it never works for me, whether I click on links or type into the address bar. I am on Google Chrome

At ConnecRightUK we have developed a checklist for property owners to check if their homes or part of their homes are connected to the wrong drainage? #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023 Here’s the quick & easy checklist connectright.org.uk/misconnections

@cleansafethames Hi, apologies for the late reply. Our main website has been down for a while but please try water.org.uk/developers/plu… or contact your local water company for further info.

@GWKEastJaneH Hi Jane, Apologies for the late reply, please DM us and I’ll explain in more detail.

@ConnectRightUK hi, your website currently isn't working. Is this a temporary thing and will be up and running soon. We are running a water pollution campaign at the moment and would like to direct people to your website if possible.

In our final technical presentation, Richard Davies is talking about the ConnectRight Group and their mission to prevent drainage misconnections. #drainage #buildwithus #LABCacademy #BuildingControl #PublicService @ConnectRightUK

Nick Ayling and Daniel Rees from @thameswater are discussing the importance of H4 consultations and the process with our delegates at the @labc Emerging Talent Conference #LABCacademy #BuildingControl #PublicService #buildwithus

@labcuk Thank you for the opportunity to talk about drainage misconnections to the next generation of building inspectors at the conference yesterday. It’s always fantastic to get the chance to raise some awareness. #LABCtalent

@NatResWales Excellent piece article 👍

In a previous blog for #NationalDrainageMisconnectionsDay our environment officer discusses the challenges and lengths we have to go to, to get to the bottom of the problem naturalresourceswales.gov.uk/about-us/news/…

Household wastewater incorrectly plumbed into surface water drains causes sewage, cooking fats and oils, and detergents to pollute our rivers and streams 💩🐟 Identifying which properties are causing the problem can often be difficult, particularly in urban areas.

Our officers undertake assessments of surface water outlets to help us discover if sewage is entering streams through misconnected foul drainage. This information is then fed into our misconnections action plan with local councils and water companies 👷‍♀️ 👷🏼

It’s #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay! We’re spending £220,000 on fixing them, and since 2022, we’ve found 280 misconnections! Would you know how to spot one? Our Misconnection Team Manager, Rob has some advice…. For more, visit: ow.ly/IOVm50NvVXw @ConnectRightUK

What do you think 🤔 is the most misconnected outlets found at properties #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023

@powell_peter @WelshDeeTrust @DyfrdwyCymru Hope our campaign can help raise some awareness and education.

Today is #nationaldrainagemisconnectionsday2023. Here is one we found earlier this week. Sewage fungus coming out of a clean water drain. Maintenance, investment and education all needed to tackle this problem which is causing real harm to our rivers.

Most misconnections are caused because of this type of activity and people just don’t realise the risk of how they can pollute the environment in this way. For more information please visit our website on connectright.org.uk

If you are planning to move your washing machine to an outbuilding or shed, refurbishing kitchens or bathrooms or adding an extension to your property, please check where you will be reconnecting the waste pipes, to ensure they are connected to the correct systems.

It’s #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023 🚽 When toilets, washing machines, dishwashers and showers are incorrectly plumbed, they're 'misconnected' and can cause pollution. Use our guide to find out if your home is misconnected👉 ow.ly/PyHa50NuwBq

Meet our Streamclean team who locate plumbing mistakes and help customers resolve them. Each year they discover 100s of homes whose appliances have been misconnected to the wrong drain. Check for a misconnection: connectright.org.uk/misconnections #NationalDrainageMisconnectionDay2023
