Water mains affecting development
Where there are water mains affecting your planned development, you may need to divert or change them. Or, you may want to look at removing an abandoned section of pipe. We can assess your proposal and comment on the design options through a water main diversion. We can also provide a water main diversion quote.
Unlike a sewer main diversion, we don't allow the option for developers to carry out this work on our behalf. This is due to the risks associated with water quality and maintaining supply to our customers.

Below is our guide on what you need to do when making a water main diversion application. We often refer to a diversion as a ‘Section 185’. We'll keep in touch along the way to make sure everything goes smoothly.
