What differentiates a sewer from a drain?

 A drain is a conduit that removes water and trash from a building and any attached structures, like a garage.

An area of pipe known as a lateral drain is used to transfer waste from a premise to a sewer. It is outside your property line, frequently under a public road or pavement. A side drain may be under your premises if you connect a sewer with your neighbor.

Water and waste are gathered by a sewer from the drains of several structures. Most sewage systems are publicly owned, and your water utility maintains them. There are also a few privately owned sewers, though. Rather than using a sewer network, some residents use a cesspool, septic tank, or treatment centre. You won't be required to pay sewerage fees to a sewerage provider if you aren't linked to a sewer.

Any drains contained within the perimeter of your property are considered private drains and are your responsibility to maintain or repair. Shared lateral drains with your neighbor are not your responsibility to maintain or improve; your water provider is in charge of these.

It was the property owner's duty to keep lateral drains and sewers linked to the public network. The majority, though, are now cared for by neighbourhood water corporations. Call your Plumber Harrow if you experience any sewer or lateral drain issues, such as a clogged drain.

To examine or maintain the sewer, your water provider has the authority to visit your property.
