Responsibilities for locating GWMWater assets
GWMWater mapping information is intended to be indicative only. External parties should make their own enquiries to ensure the accuracy of the information. GWMWater take no responsibility for inaccurate or misleading data.
Asset locating must be undertaken by a contractor prequalified to undertake works on GWMWater assets. This may involve the use of specialised equipment including ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic pipe / cable locators to identify the position, depth and type of underground assets.
Alternatively, non-destructive digging (NDD) such as potholing or vacuum excavation may be necessary to accurately expose and locate underground assets without damaging them.
GWMWater will hold individuals and/or companies responsible for any damage caused to its assets.
