What you need to do:
-
Talk to your local council first and gain approval (as rules for additional dwellings can vary between councils).
-
Apply and pay for Unitywater to install new connections and alter any existing connections. We will undertake the work for you.
-
You may also need to pay an infrastructure charge. This charge offsets the cost of any extra demand your second dwelling may place on our water or sewerage networks.
