How can I find out if I'm connected to a soakaway, or if the drains take surface water away.
The property I've just bought has three manhole covers, all for foul water. I've put a hose in the gutters and it definitely ain't going that way.
I'll get a discount on my water bill if it's a soakaway.

I don't think you have to prove it with regards to your water bill discount or you didn't have to.
When I had a private drainage source the discount was added without any checks at all.

Our water supplier is South East Water but wastewater services are provided by Thames Water.
Thames Water Household Charges Scheme stipulates the following for a Surface Water Drainage Rebate:
9.5.1 Where you can prove to our satisfaction that no surface water from your property drains to a public sewer, we will reduce your wastewater charges by the amount shown in the Charges Schedule.
(You pay £34.86 instead of £62.81 for 2022)
