Getting Connected

If you are moving into a newly built home you may need to organise a wastewater (sewerage) connection. Most new homes and subdivisions already have a wastewater connection, however, a single block of land for example, may not.

You can check with Ipswich Water whether or not the property is connected to the town water supply system.

If you need a new wastewater connection, simply follow the process below:

If required, organise the design through Ipswich Water or a private consultant.
Complete and lodge your application ('Request for Water and Sewerage Services'), providing an appropriate site map (you apply for water and wastewater services at the same time).
Ipswich Water will send you a quote for design of connection.
Pay quoted fee of your design to Ipswich Water.
Ipswich Water will process your application. Processing time will vary depending on the nature of your application.

Ipswich Water will arrange your connection. If you have specified a certain location for you connection, we will try to accommodate your wishes if possible .
