7. Off-site water mains
A new development site may be some distance from our nearest existing water main. Therefore, you will have to make provision for an off-site main to connect the mains within your development to our existing water mains system.

A water main is the pipe which distributes water from a service reservoir or treatment works to properties. These water mains are our responsibility.
