This applies when a development puts a greater demand on our networks.
Domestic property: You will be increasing the number of residential units.
Commercial property: You may be changing the industry type or building use, increasing the area of a building, or increasing the number of users.
For this request we require the following information:
-
Plan showing location of meter.
-
The number of extra residential units, minor household units or sleepouts.
-
Whether development contributions* for water or wastewater for the property have been paid to Auckland Council or the previous local authority.
-
Whether the floor area of the dwelling/residential unit is less than 65 sqm.**
* Until 2010, customers connecting to utility services may have paid a contribution to Auckland Council or other local body. Since then, customers have paid an infrastructure growth charge to Watercare. To ensure we don't double-charge our customers, it is helpful to know if you have already paid the council.
** If an apartment/unit is less than 65 sqm the infrastructure growth charge (IGC) is reduced to two-thirds of the general rate.
Commercial customers please also provide:
-
Your wastewater pricing plan.
-
Estimated average daily wastewater discharge volume, if known (litres/day).
-
Estimated increase in average daily water use (litres/day).
-
Estimated peak flow (litres/sec).
-
