Service connections and relocations
Perth region
Charges relating to connection fees apply only in the Perth Region, except where special circumstances apply where a quote is required.
Other regions
All connections in non-metropolitan regions must be quoted.
Special circumstances
A quote may be required for connections such as water services, fire services, relocations, and downgrading or upgrading a water service in a built up area such as a central business district. Charges will need to be assessed on a case by case basis in these areas due to the costs of traffic management, access and restoration.
