Wastewater connection/alteration

If you're installing new wastewater (sewer) connections for new or existing properties or subdivisions, you'll need to complete the Wastewater connection/alteration application form

Section 459 of The Local Government Act 1974 allows the Council to require a private drain to be connected to the public drain unless it is more than 60 metres from the public drain.

Clause G13.3.3 of the Building Code says "Where a sewer connection is available the drainage system shall be connected to the sewer and the connection shall be made in a manner that avoids damage to the sewer and is to the approval of the network utility operator."
