Before you start building, learn what water assets might be on or near your property. We can provide a copy of our network plans for you – just fill out a web mapping request form and email it to webmapping@yorkshirewater.co.uk.
If there’s a water main in the way – and you’re not able to change your building plans to avoid it – you can apply to us for the main to be diverted. We’ll design and estimate the cost of the works and complete the diversion for you. To apply, please complete the application below.

Once you’ve applied and made the payment, we’ll arrange to visit your site so we can work out the route of the diversion. We’ll then get back to you with an estimate and a plan showing where the main will be diverted – this usually takes up to 42 days, but might take longer depending on the size and complexity of the diversion.
