Connections Off An Existing Mains
We have increased the contestable activity that we will allow accredited SLPs.
SLPs with 'CRUPMC, Construction Routine Under Pressure Mains Connections Accreditation' can apply under pressure branch connections up to 63mm off designated mains for either non standard services or mains.
This will include under pressure connections to our existing network up to and including 63mm in size (subject to a number of criteria being met related to the host main).
Both 25/32mm and 63mm criteria includes:
- Up to a 12” host main
- Where the host main material is either DI/CI/SI/AC/PE/Barrier Pipe/Steel
- Where a shut off is not required
- Where the main is not considered to be strategic
To help you understand the process of making a connection off an exisiting main, we have outlined a step by step process below.
Please note that whenever you make a connection to our water network you must call our control room on 0345 672 3723 to let them know before and after the work is carried out.
