There's a presentation at the EA office in Penrith next Wednesday evening for anyone interested and nearby.
It is a case study describing the environmental and financial benefits of using the CL:AIRE CoP at a development on a former landfill site at United Utilities Fleetwood Wastewater Treatment Works

Subject: Strange Pipe!
Dear all,
Don’t know if you can shed any light on this, received a call form a resident reporting unidentified above-ground piping in their garden, 38A Grange Road, Egham. In the rear garden of the house the resident had come across two pipes in differing locations. One was in the centre of the garden around 6cm in diameter, 30-40cm in length above the ground but an undetermined length below the ground; this could not be established due to a blockage. The pipes do not seem to be very deep in the ground as there was some movement to it. See the first picture)
The second pipe was located near the rear of the garden; it had a similar diameter to the first pipe but was longer around 50-60cm above ground and an estimated 4m below the ground (the resident has proven this depth and also reported groundwater in the bass). In addition it had a fitting around the top which could have allowed connection with another object. (See the second picture)
My initial thoughts are an ingenious private water extraction from the geology in the area which is the Kempton Park Gravel Formation, and comprises a shallow held water body. However any additional suggestions would be welcomed! The garden is within 150m of a petrol station but I am not aware of any groundwater monitoring installations associated with any investigation on such an area.
Ultimately I need to give them any advice I can as to what they should do with them, as they wish to remove the pipes, by cutting them at ground level and concreting over. If they are a legacy form a former gardener, then I see no reason as to why this cannot be recommended.
Thanks!
