Main to meter installation process change

As of 1 July 2017, City West Water will engage their meter services contractor Select Solutions to install all main to meter connections for all sized drinking and recycled water services.

This includes:

• Installation of the City West Water approved meter(s).
• The installation of the main to meter pipework , where required, (City West
  Water asset) in the nature strip/roadway into the property boundary, inclusive
  of excavation and reinstatement.
• Tapping of the City West Water drinking/recycled water main(s).
• Plugging of a redundant drinking/recycled water service.

Specific details and all applicable costs will be included on the plumbing application and/or the applicable development offer.

City West Water believes this process improvement will standardise the installation of all related works as well as protect plumbers and community due to the ongoing changes and requirements associated with:

• Traffic management laws.
• Working on asbestos mains.
• OHS requirements with excavation works.
• Meeting relevant Australian and WSAA standards.
• Water meter manufacturer installation requirements.

As a value added service, we will also offer the customer the option to have the installation and testing of the required backflow device on the drinking water service (containment only) during the main to meter connection.

This would be at an additional cost to the described works above and there will be an option on the plumbing application for customers to select this option. The customer may still request their own plumber to install any required backflow device(s).

For any further enquires please call the Technical Team on 1300 299 228 or email technicalenquiries@citywestwater.com.au.
