Service connections and relocations
Perth region
Charges relating to connection fees, ONLY apply in the Perth Region, except where special circumstances apply where a QUOTE is required.
Non-metropolitan regions
All connections in non-metropolitan regions must be quoted, except the charges marked (*) for 20mm and 25mm services. A quote may also be required for 20mm or 25mm services in any built up areas, or areas where special circumstances apply.
Special circumstances
A quote may be required for connections such as water services, fire services, relocations, and downgrading or upgrading a water service in a built up area such as a central business district. Charges will need to be assessed on a case by case basis in these areas due to the costs of traffic management, access and restoration.
North West region
