Other Services

Plan Records

The water services department has access to Council’s engineering records. If you need to find out more about the location of the water or sewer connection to your property please contact the department for assistance. If we have the details on file we can provide the information reasonably quickly.

 

New Connections

Council administers all new connections to its various utility assets. If you need a new water, sewer or stormwater connection then you are required to make application to the department. Some schemes have reached capacity or the network is limited and can not provide for property connections. Please refer to the table below for details for the availability of the networks.
