No longer need an existing water supply to your property? No problem – we’ll arrange the disconnection for you.

We’ll disconnect your supply from our water main in the public road free of charge. This is a permanent disconnection that’s done if you’re demolishing a property, for example. If you later need to restore the water supply, you’ll have to apply and pay for a new water connection.

If you only need the water supply to be temporarily turned off, or you’re unsure if you need a permanent disconnection, please call our contact centre.
