Application for new or replacement water connections


This form should be used to make an application for new or replacement water connections to an existing public water main under section 45 and/or 55 of the Water Industry Act 1991.

If you are building multiple household or non-household properties on a site that will have new road access, you will probably need a new water main. This main, and the services to each property, can either be laid by accredited Self-Lay Providers or by South West Water / Bournemouth Water (please select relevant option).

For a single new or existing property or where a small number of connections are required then you will probably need a new or replacement water connection(s) to an existing water main. Continue on this page to make such an application.

Please provide as much information about your requirements to enable us to process your application as quickly and as accurately as possible. Insufficient information may result in delays to the provision of the connection.

All fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

We will process the personal data you provide in a manner that accords with current UK data protection laws. We will not keep it for longer than is necessary and will keep it safe, only permitting access to those who need to use it. If you wish to view our full Privacy Notice, please visit our website.
