The NAV process allows independent water companies to own water and wastewater networks in discrete geographic (development) areas. This means developers now have a choice of whom they appoint for asset ownership and network installation of new water and wastewater networks.<\/p>\n

As an independent water company, we are able to serve sites in all areas run by an incumbent regional water company. Our ability to undertake new water connections, mains installation and adopt wastewater infrastructure is through Ofwat\u2019s New Appointments and Variations (NAV) process. Where we are appointed by a developer, a NAV is approved by Ofwat. We have all the same duties and responsibilities as the incumbent regional water company.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our approved supplier for standpipe hire is Aquam Water Services. <\/strong>The use of anything other than a standpipe that you have hired from Aquam is illegal, contravenes the Water Industry Act, and is considered a theft of water. The use of a standpipe without a double check valve poses a risk to the water quality and can interfere with our operations. Only metered standpipes issued by Aquam will be authorised to be connected on to our network.<\/p>\n
