Did you know that the water companies automatically charge you for surface water removal?  I recently contacted my water supplier and told them that the water which is collected by my roof goes to soak aways which are dotted around my property and not into the mains drainage. 

The water companies assess your property as automatically having surface water going into the mains drainage and don’t change it unless you tell them otherwise.  So if you do have soak aways for surface water, check you’re not being over charged by your water supplier.
