Water Supply / Drainage / Vehicle Crossing
Service Connection Fact Sheet
A Service Connection Application shall be completed and a site and drainage plan provided
with all Building Consent Applications, whether or not a new water/drainage connection or
vehicle crossing is being installed or relocated.
If no new service connection is required, why am I still required to complete the application
form and provide a site/drainage plan?
All Service Connection Applications are processed separately to your Building Consent. In order to ensure that the
existing services meet the requirements of your property and that any site works will not impact on the services currently
available, the information provided via the service connection application form and the attached site plan will be
reviewed to ensure that no further action is required.
Service connection application details
Fees
It is important that all required details are supplied on
the application form (even if ‘No Services Required’
has been ticked). Once the application and site plan
have been reviewed by Council, if it becomes
necessary to contact the applicant or the property
owner, then it will speed up this process if all of the
correct information has been supplied.
All fees will be invoiced either separately, or as part of
a consent application. Please see Tauranga City
Council’s website for application fees and charges.
Site plans
As well as the application form, an A3 copy of a
detailed site and services plan/s showing all relevant
information is required for Council to process the
application. The plans shall clearly show: Property
boundaries, location of existing services, location of
proposed connection, location of obstructions and size
and type of materials.
Swimming pools
It is a Tauranga City Council requirement that all
properties that have a swimming pool shall have a
Double Check Valve installed immediately after the
water meter at the boundary. This is to protect the
public water supply from any potential contamination.
The Health (Drinking Water) Amendment Act 2007
authorises Council to enforce backflow prevention at
the boundary whether this is new or historic. Building a
swimming pool requires a Service Connection
Application to be completed.
Bond (refundable)
The Asset Protection Bond will be available for refund
once the Service Connection As-built details have
been received (if a Service Connection Approval has
been granted) and the Code of Compliance
Certification has been issued. A Tauranga City
Council Development Monitoring Advisor will visit the
site in order to establish that the as-builts received are
correct and that Council’s Infrastructure remains
undamaged.
Information to accompany this
application
