I’m building a new home, do I need to apply for water and sewerage?

Building a brand new home.

Check that your builder has applied for the water and sewerage connection on your behalf. If your contract with your builder doesn't include a water and sewerage connection, you will need to apply via the Connection Application form.

You're moving into a newly built home.

If there is a connection, but no water meter on the property, you will need to apply for a meter via the Connection Application form.

If there is a meter, and no water supply, check the meter is in the 'on' position. If there is still no supply, call our Customer Service Centre for help.
