Council requires all water supply mains and submains to be pressure tested, chlorinated and bacteriologically tested in order to minimise the risk of contamination of the water supply network.
Chlorination must be carried out by experienced personnel from either City Care Limited, Independent Pipeline Services Limited or Trenching Dynamix Limited, who are Council-approved for this work.
Full details on the pressure testing, chlorination and water quality testing requirements can be found in our guidance notes for Council authorised water supply installers [PDF, 14 KB].
