What is a site development?
A site development is where you require a new water supply but cannot to our existing main.
We will carry out the network modelling, design and lay the water main and you will pay the requisition charge which is the total cost of the site-specific works, we often refer to this work as ‘Mains Requisition Section 42’. You can also appoint a Self Lay Provider to carry out these works on your behalf, please see our Self Lay pages for more information.
How to get connected?
You can use our pre development application to get an estimate for the work you require, this is useful in cases where you aren’t sure if you are going through with the work or are still in the early stages of planning and would like a cost.
This is a quotation which will confirm the capacity requirements and network capacity at the time of application, it includes a budget cost for the site-specific works and for the related service connections.
You can then make a New Mains application which will provide you with a firm quote.
