Application forms
New connection
All applications for new water connections to the Waitaki District Council managed supply need to be made using the form below.
Once we have received your application, we will either:
- Approve it and then inform you of the type of supply you will get, the level of service, the size of the connection, and any particular conditions applicable, or
- Refuse the application and notify you of the decision, giving reasons for refusal.
Once the connection is approved, Council will determine the sizes of all pipes, fittings and any other equipment, up to the point of supply. Council will supply and install the service pipe up to the point of supply, or may allow the supply and installation of the service pipe to be carried out by approved contractors, which will be at your cost. Installations must be in accordance with the design and instructions approved by Council.
The Awamoko, Kauru Hill, Tokarahi and Windsor water supplies are operated by Corriedale Water Management Ltd. Council is not in a position to assist with any queries or issues for these supplies. For contact details for these supplies please visit our Who to contact page.
Fees and charges for new applications

Time limit
Once the application has been approved by Council, you will need to accept the conditions of, and pay for, the new connection within 30 days of the date of approval (unless a time extension has been approved). Any refund of application fees and charges is at Council’s discretion.
