Apply for a commercial meter connection

Have your documentation ready to upload

When you apply for a commercial meter connection, you will be asked to provide:

• Your water development notice number (e.g. DA23/1234)
• A service location plan, which can be uploaded as a jpg or pdf
• Hydraulic plans and water sizing calculations, prepared by a qualified consultant

What is a service location plan?

A service location plan is a simple diagram that provides us the information we require to install your meter in the position you want. Your nominated location must:

• Be positioned along the front boundary, and
• Not exceed one (1) metre in from the front boundary

If your preferred location requires the installation of a conduit, additional costs will be incurred. We will contact you to discuss costs and possible alternative service location options.

What is a hydraulic plan and/or water sizing calculation?

Hydraulic plans or water sizing calculations must be prepared by a qualified consultant such as a plumber or hydraulics consultant in accordance with relevant Australian standards. Details may include:

• Available water pressure (a water pressure certificate can be issued on application)
• Existing size of water mains serving the development
• Size of metered and unmetered services required
• Development complexity
• Use of water and demand allocation in calculation stage
• Location of proposed metered and unmetered services
• Number of meter services
• Access to metered services
• Maintenance and/or replacement of metered services
• Backflow prevention devices (which may impact water pressure)
• Impact to the water supply system
