We can help you with connection applications, quotes, connection standards/requirements, the issuing of plumbing consent numbers, and provide field notes of asset and connection locations.
The ‘General Installation Notes’ (below) details our tapping, property service installation, excavation and meter assembly requirements.
Property drainage plans (as constructed plans) are available for most properties in our service area connected to sewer mains. These plans give details on the location of sewer drains within the property boundary and are normally requested by plumbers fixing sewer blockages and for customers planning extensions/renovations.
In accordance with the Building Act 1993, plumbers are required to supply “as constructed” information for all sewer works carried out within the South Gippsland Water catchment area, which require the issue of a PIC number within 14 days of the completion of work.
We will supply an “as constructed” form for use when the Application to Connect has been lodged and a PIC number allocated.
To apply for a water pressure and flow test, please download the application form and submit it to us with the relevant fee.
