Guidance notes
for a water supply for commercial properties
These notes relate to each of the numbered sections on the application form.
1: Applicant details
This section should be completed with the details of the person or company responsible for payment for the new
connection(s). We will issue all correspondence to this address. If the applicant is not the owner, we will require the
property owner’s details to be completed.
If there is anyone else you might want us to speak to about your application, please include their name and contact
details. This could be your partner, plumber, builder etc.
2: Development details
Please provide the address of your development.
Location map and site plan
Please provide a location map (including at least two road names for reference if possible) and a site layout plan –
this should clearly identify the property, or properties, and surrounding area. It should also show the route of the
pipework for water, wastewater and surface water within your boundary, and your preferred point of entry into the
water main and public sewer (your plumber and drainage designer should be able to assist with this). If you need any
help please give us a call on 0345 072 6067.
Please advise if the land bordering your development where the proposed connection(s) will be made is owned by the
council or is private land. If the land is private, you will need authorisation from the owner to carry out your works.
3: Site details
a) to c) Where sites have been previously developed or have been used for landll, it is possible that contaminants
could be present which could permeate plastic pipe aecting water quality.
These contaminants are generally associated with oil based products such as petrol or diesel. In these instances,
it is a water regulation requirement that all pipes laid within the vicinity of the contamination both by the
company and the developer shall be impervious to contamination. There are various pipes available often called
barrier pipe. If the site is contaminated, you will need to complete a ‘Risk assessment for water pipes’ form and
include with your application, the form together with guidance is available on unitedutilities.com/forms under
‘Water services’. Please also provide a copy of your geological report, this should have been provided as part of
your planning application.
If the land isn’t contaminated, please provide a copy of your desktop survey with your application, the survey is
part of your planning application.
d) If you intend to store any chemicals on site this may also have implications on the type of pipework that needs to
be installed. We recommend that you do not install any pipework until we’ve veried what material is suitable for
your site.
e) Please provide details of whether the buildings previously on the site have been demolished or whether they are
to be converted.
Details of what the site was previously used for are also required to ensure you are charged the correct
infrastructure charges or given the correct level of infrastructure credit, if applicable. These charges help pay
towards the cost of meeting future demand for water, specically created by new developments. An allowance
against water infrastructure charges will be made where there were properties supplied on the site within the last
ve years.
g) Health and Safety F10 notice, this is required if your construction work is notiable to the Health and Safety
Executive. This applies to projects where the construction work is expected to last longer than 30 working
days and has more than 20 workers at the same time, or will exceed 500 person days. If this is the case for your
development, please provide a copy of your F10 notice with this form.
4: Proposed development
Please let us know the type of development you are planning, we need this information to ensure we use the correct
sized supply pipe. Please also let us know the indicative date you need your water supply connecting so your project
runs to plan.
The VAT you will pay on the cost of your water and wastewater services will be dependent on the type or use of the
buildings in your development.
Water reclaim or re-use
Please indicate if a water reclaim or re-use (eg rainwater harvesting) system is to be installed. This is where non-
drinking water or rainwater is to be stored and used for ushing toilets and other uses. Water reclaim systems must
be inspected and signed o as compliant before a connection to the water main can be made, failure to advise us of
installation may result in delays to your connection being made. To ensure that your water reclaim system complies
with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, an inspection must be carried out by a Water Regulations
Ocer from United Utilities’ Water Regulations team.
5: Water usage and connection requirements
Please conrm the size of the supply you require and the number of commercial premises being built, and any
landlord supplies required. These are any water connections needed for taps in communal or service areas
ie bin stores.
We also need a complete list of water ttings which you propose to install in the development, this includes any
landlord supply ttings.
If the supply required is for process use we will also need conrmation of your operational hours and peak usage
time. This information is essential as a large demand of water for process use would need to be modelled onto our
water network to check we can supply the water required. It could delay your work if you don’t provide accurate
information with your application.
Please also conrm where you would like your meter located. We need this information so we can send you the
correct specication drawing for the pipework you need to lay within your development, and the meter setup for
each property. This will be sent to you with your quote. Depending on the type of development there are several
options available. For multi-occupancy buildings eg oces, your meters can be installed in a communal area or
within each oce. For single occupancy buildings eg schools, your meter can be installed either in the plant room or
externally at the boundary in a meter chamber. You can also request an energy management system (pulse unit) to
be installed which enables you to read your meter remotely.
We also need full schematic drawings along with internal layout plans of each oor, this is so we can make sure the
water system is designed correctly and won’t cause issues for your development.
5b) Water storage facilities are recommended for multi-occupancy premises or any buildings with more than two
oors. We recommend a minimum of half a day’s storage to allow for any issues that could happen on the water
network ie burst pipes.
If you’re installing water storage and booster tanks, please also advise the size of the tank being installed, the
size of the inlet valve, and the ow rate required into the tank. This will help us to establish if the size of the
water connection you have asked for is suitable for your requirements, this means the ow will be sucient and
there will be no impact on water quality for the building.
5c) Please note, we do not guarantee water supplies for reghting. We advise that you consider water storage for
this purpose. For commercial properties a separate supply for reghting purposes will be required in addition
to your drinking water supply. We also don’t upsize our network for supplies for reghting.
6: Water eciency and sustainable drainage
We oer discounts against the water and wastewater infrastructure charges that are payable when properties
are connected to our networks. These discounts apply to buildings that are built to meet certain criteria for water
eciency and/or drain wastewater away from our existing sewerage networks.
Water
If the buildings in your development are water ecient, you may be able to get a discount on the total cost of the
new water supply for your property. If you t water ecient ttings and appliances which mean the water use in
the house will be 110 litres or less per person, per day, you will be eligible for the discount. To get the discount you
will need to complete the water ttings calculator www.thewatercalculator.org.uk/calculator.asp and include the
report and completion certicate with your application. A copy needs to be provided for each type of building.
Wastewater
Sustainable drainage, such as soakaways and ponds, means surface water isn’t channelled directly into sewers and
watercourses which can help to avoid ooding. Properties built so surface water drainage does not enter the United
Utilities’ public sewer system may be eligible for a discount on the total cost of their wastewater connection.
Further information on infrastructure charges and how our discounts are applied is available at unitedutilities.com/
charges-scheme.
