Welcome to the Sewerage Division

The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority manages, maintains and develops the Island’s sewerage infrastructure and the sewage treatment and disposal systems. The Authority is also responsible for carrying out the functions contained within the Land Drainage Act and for assessing flood risk for areas of the Island.
