Who is responsible for a Manhole?
The drains which carry household waste are normally the property owner’s (or the landlord’s) responsibility up until the boundary of the property where they connect to public sewers. There will often be a company maintained manhole at that point.
Any drain cover that is outside your property’s boundary line or may be shared with a neighbouring household is the responsibility of the sewage provider. Similarly, drain covers that are on the road or street outside your property are also the responsibility of your local sewage company.
