Many properties in urban areas will have the option to join our existing water network. The primary requirement for a property is that it's fronted by one of our mains.

In rural areas, we may supply water for landowners through a rural pipeline connection, or a groundwater or surface water diversion.

If you're property isn't fronted by a main or a rural pipeline, you may also be eligible to apply to extend our water network.

Step 2:  Find out if your property is fronted by a main

To find out if your property is fronted by an urban water main, use our interactive map of GWMWater assets or get in touch with us.

 

Step 3: Find a licensed plumber

Only a licensed plumber can connect you to a main. This is to ensure the safety of our water system and the community.  You'll need to find a plumber before applying for permission to connect, as you're required to supply their details on the application form.

 

Step 4:  Apply to connect

If you're ready to connect to our water services you'll need permission from us before you begin any works.
