Frequently Asked Questions

We are committed to providing new water connections for the property owners in American River, Baudin Beach, Island Beach and Sapphiretown.

Construction of township reticulation mains are progressing, with water supply via the new connections expected from around mid-2024, once the new trunk main, reticulation mains and new desalination plant is complete.

Your new connection includes the infrastructure required to deliver water to the boundary of your property, along with a new 20mm water meter. Once this meter is in place, you can engage a licensed plumbing contractor to connect your property to the meter at your cost.

Fixed charge for water supply

The 2022-23 annual charge for the supply of safe, reliable and affordable water to your home is $74.20 per quarter, $296.80 per year.

The annual charge will not be payable until either a meter is fitted to the property or the water main becomes available to the property.

New customers who want to connect to the new main will be able to apply later this year once the project is complete.
