Water Service Connections
The Council provides stormwater, sewer and water connections. A connection is the piece of pipe that joins your property to the various networks. Applications for a connection are handled by the Resource Management group at the Council.
The Council’s underground services maintenance contractor is the only party authorised to install new connections.
