Your connection

Most properties in the Kāpiti District are connected to town water supply, and are charged for the water they use. The exceptions are properties with private supply (such as water tanks or private bores) rather than town supply.

Find out more about how to get connected, change your connection, or disconnect your water supply.

Getting connected

To apply for a new water connection, you’ll need to complete a Water Supply Connection form (available below and from Council service centres).

• Water supply connection form [PDF 241 KB]
• Water supply connection (online application)

There’s no application fee to have your application form assessed. Installing a new connection will vary from site to site, so fees are estimated on a case-by-case basis. See Water and wastewater fees and charges for more information.

If the new connection is approved, Council will give the applicant the cost estimates. Only actual installation costs are charged to the applicant when the installation work is completed.

Changing or disconnecting water supply

If you’re having a building demolished, or need a change to your property’s existing water connection, you’ll need to complete a water supply connection/alteration form:
