Find a water servicing coordinator. - How can you get us to approve your building plans?
We'll approve most building plans (about 70%) automatically through Sydney Water Tap in™. This happens when your proposed building work doesn't impact our pipes and structures.
If your plans look like they may affect our assets, we'll refer you to a Water Servicing Coordinator (WSC).
The WSC will confirm any special requirements, stamp your plans and act as your contact when dealing with us.
To help you choose a listed Water Servicing Coordinator, make sure you ask these questions:- How long will it take to approve my building plan?
- How much do you charge to approve my building plan?
- How much will a Service Protection Report cost?
- What other charges might I have to pay before you approve my building plan?
- How can you get a diagram showing Sydney Water's pipes and assets on your property?
Service location diagrams are plans created from our computerised mapping system that show our pipes and structures.
They show:- our water, wastewater and stormwater pipes
- the point of connection for a property to our wastewater system
- structures or valves that help us operate our systems
- property and road information.
You can request a Service location diagram online at Sydney Water Tap in™ or from a Property Link broker.
