Abstract

Gully pots act as runoff inlet points to surface water sewers, combined sewers and highway drains. Their primary purpose is to intercept solid material that otherwise would cause blockages in the sewerage system. They also act as water seals to prevent the escape of odour from combined sewers. Gully pots can however provide a reservoir of contaminated sediment and a source of polluted liquor, which can be flushed into sewers and watercourses during maintenance or storms.
