Apply for a commercial connection

Our development portal is up and running

Apply for a commercial connection

This section is for customers who want to connect a non-residential property. It also applies to multiple residential units (e.g apartment buildings) and mixed-use developments.

You can apply for the following connection services:  

  • Water and wastewater (connect to both networks) 

  • Water only (new or additional meter*) 

  • Wastewater only

* Examples of where additional meters may be required: an apartment building with retail shops below, a shopping centre, a business centre with several offices.

The buttons below take you to our development portal where you can apply for a commercial connection or view your dashboard.

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.
