Mains

If you’re building, developing land or converting multiple properties, and are building a new road to adoptable standards, you may require a new main to supply your development.  Please use the below application form when you apply to us.

Once you've applied, we'll visit your site to assess the work required and confirm we can supply the amount of water you require.

Depending on the size of your development, you’ll receive a response in 28 days.

Once you've paid, you'll need to contact our contractors to book in your main laying and associated works. We normally lay mains within 90 days, though if we need to work in a busy road or restrict road traffic it may take longer due to the notice required by the local councils.

  3. Please complete the contaminated land assessment form to allow us to assess the risk of contamination of the drinking water supply from chemicals within the soil. We now lay all our water mains and service pipes in plastic. Many organic compounds (i.e. Phenols, Fuels and other hydrocarbons) can either permeate through the walls of plastic pipes into the water supply or dissolve and weaken the pipe causing water leaks.
