Declared water and sewerage service areas

Council is a registered water and sewage service provider under the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008.

We ensure that connections, disconnections and changes to water supply and sewerage infrastructure are systematically managed to meet customer needs, protect public health and minimise the impact on the environment.

The legislation requires all local governments to declare their water and/or sewerage service areas and publish maps showing these areas and the related infrastructure.

Council must provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a service to the property service point for all allotments in a declared service area. Cost to connect and any extension of mains required will still be assessed per current processes and costs where appropriate passed on to the requesting person/developer.
