We’ll guide you through the process of linking you up to Scottish Water’s infrastructure. We handle applications for new water and waste water connections, sewerage links and associated work.
Before you start
Please take a look at the recent changes to getting a new connection before you apply.
Each form comes with notes to keep you on the right track. And remember we’re here to help. Get in touch if you need advice at any point. A quick discussion before you start can help ensure you get connected at the right time.
