This is one of the wettest inhabited parts of England, and drainage here is designed for volume rather than average conditions.
Local focus
Working in and around Keswick
Extreme rainfall
Systems are sized and detailed for intense rainfall events, with overflow routes considered rather than left to chance.
Valley-side runoff
Water arriving from the fell above a property is often the real problem, and land drainage above the building is the real solution.
Sensitive discharge
Discharges near watercourses and within the National Park need the correct consents and appropriate treatment.
Keswick — common questions
