As part of the overarching changes to the Water Industry Act 1991 (WIA91) and the introduction of the statutory codes for adoption agreements, water companies are requested to publish any local practices where there is deviation from the standards identified. The below documents outline our local practices in relation to design service offerings and plot reference numbers.

• Plot Reference Numbers

In order to assist with a smooth application and subsequent developer services journey with us, we have outlined the minimum information we require from SLPs at each stage of the process below. In addition, we have provided clear indication of requirements at the call-off stage, so that SLPs can request plot connections without delay.
