Information on the source, quality and supply at St Ann's Well can be obtained by contacting the Environment & Health Service by email to customer-services@highpeak.gov.uk or phone 0845 129 7777 or 01298 28400.
The Council can advise on drinking water standards, and will check private and public supplies to ensure the water is safe for human consumption.
If you are experiencing drainage problems on a privately owned property, built after 1937, this could be caused by a private sewer. It is therefore the joint and equal responsibility of the owner and occupiers to resolve. The Environmental Health Service can investigate and give advice – email customer-services@highpeak.gov.uk or phone 0845 129 7777 or 01298 28400.
Your water utility company is responsible for clearing blocked public sewers.
Please report problems of blockage or debris in culverts, gullies and grids to the Council's Customer Services team, email customer-services@highpeak.gov.uk or call 0845 129 7777 or 01298 28400.
