Depending on what services you require in your home, you can apply for the following:

  • Water and wastewater (connect to both networks) 

  • Water only (new or additional meter) 

  • Wastewater only


When does billing start?

Water and wastewater: We start charging from the time we install the meter. This includes the monthly fixed charge as well as any consumption.

Water only: We start charging from the time we install the meter. This includes the monthly fixed charge as well as any consumption.

Wastewater only: We start charging from the date we approve your application. This includes the monthly fixed charge as well as any consumption.

Helpful tip: If your projected build finish date is a while away, you may want to consider installing the asset closer to your finish date, that way you will delay monthly charges.
 

If you are a homeowner planning to build a new home that involves a water or wastewater connection

  • It’s a good idea to seek advice from a drainlayer, architect, engineer or other qualified person. They will know the requirements and standards you must comply with. Auckland Council may consult us if you are applying for building consent.
