DS-7.8 Point of Supply

PreviousNext

The following shall apply:

  1. The point of supply is the connection between a property’s private pipework and the public water supply network.
  2. The reticulation shall provide a point of supply no further than 300mm from any property or lot boundary. 
  3. For multi units or unit title type developments the point of supply shall be at the road frontage, internal connections and reticulation shall be designed to meet the same standard as if the assets were to be vested in Council, albeit they shall be held in ownership and or management of a body corporate or similar management structure.

DS-7.8.1   Minimum Requirements

The following shall apply:
