Defra has reviewed the case for implementing Section 42 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Officials will be taking forward the work to seek to implement Section 42 and to consider supplementary regulations to adopt existing sewerage assets, such as private wastewater pumping stations, constructed since July 2011.

We will continue to engage with stakeholders and plan to develop a public consultation on our implementation approach to help build our evidence base on policy options and our assessment of costs and benefits.
