What type of water connection are you applying for?
New water main
If your building a multiple-property household development that will have new road access, you will probably need a new water main.
Likewise, if you're building a non-household property with a new road access, you will also need a new water main.
You have the option of getting this main, and the services to each property, laid by an accredited self-lay provider or by ourselves.
New connection on existing main
If you need a new connection to a single new property, or in cases where it's only a small number of connections needed, then you can probably connect to an existing water main.
Similarly, if you are requiring a new connection in an existing building, you'll be connecting to an existing water main.
New, or replacement, water connections to existing mains must be through us.
Our pre-development services
If you're planning to connect to our drinking water network and you'd like to understand the options available for the connection, then our pre-development services are for you.
