Clent is one of the most rural areas in our service region. Mains sewer coverage is very limited, and the majority of properties rely on private drainage systems. Septic tanks with soakaways are the most common setup, though some older properties still have cesspits that require regular emptying. The ground beneath Clent is a mix of sandstone and volcanic rock from the Clent Hills formation, overlying the Mercia Mudstone clay that is found at lower elevations. This mixed geology affects soakaway performance in ways that are not always predictable. Sandstone sections drain well, but where the ground transitions to clay, a soakaway can struggle during wet months.
