Working With a Self Lay Provider

New water mains for your development can be laid by us or you can use your own contractor, also known as a self-lay provider (SLP). Once your development is complete we will adopt the water network. 

We are now allowing self-lay providers to complete some connections to our existing water network where no new mains are being laid.

Self-lay providers must be accredited to the Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS) which is run by Lloyd's Register. Being accredited means they work to national industry standards, so they understand our policies and procedures for laying new mains and making service connections.

You can find a WIRS accredited company, and information on the scheme, on the Lloyd's Register website.
