Getting Connected
...connecting your property to the water supply

The Customer Guide
To learn more about connecting to the water and waste water network, please reference our new
Customer Guide (pdf).
We have produced a guide to ensure that customers have an accurate and clear guide to our services, and all content is approved by the
Water Industry Commission.
This is an update to our previous document ‘Guide For Obtaining New Water & Waste Water Services’.
Please be aware that this document is not available in print at this time, since several of the processes within the document are currently under review. These processes are linked to recent changes in the Water Industry in Scotland since 1 April 2008, when the market opened up to competition. Once all processes have been approved and updated, all new content will be inserted and the guide will be available in print.
