Aren't one or other ie the Council or the Water Company responsible for this
issue - whether or not the property belongs to them? (Council -
Environmental Health or Water Company - Sewage)

Subject: [data-protection] Data sharing query


I have quite a tricky data protection problem which someone may be able to
assist with:

Sewage is coming up from the drains adjacent to a number of properties owned
by my organization.  This is obviously posing a major health hazard.  The
local water company and local council have both denied responsibility for
the sewers which apparently haven't been serviced for several years.
However there is an electricity metre at the sewage works which someone is
obviously paying for.  My colleague believes the local water company are
responsible for the sewage operations, so therefore must be paying the
electricity bill.  He's contacted the electricity suppliers to find out who
pays the bill, but they refuse to disclose this, citing data protection
rules. Without this information we cannot prove who's responsible for the
sewage problem, and thus face the continuation of this health risk on our
property.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
