Requirements for a new water connection with BWB

If you have bought or moved into an existing property, the account must be transferred to your name.

The customer (property owner) goes to a BWB office and requests and fills in forms for a new connection.
Documents required are an ID copy & title deed.
If the person applying is not the owner e.g. a company, then the company registration documents will also be required, alternatively, power of attorney.

Following an application from the customer, BWB shall make an assessment to establish accessibility to the property from the main pipeline and adequacy of the pipe and water pressure to accommodate the new connection within 7 days.

After the assessment, BWB shall respond and provide a quotation to the customer within 7 days

Then the water connection shall be done within 28 days after the payment. BWB shall provide every connection with a meter at a modest deposit fee to be determined from time to time.

All customers will be required to pay service deposit fee equivalent to two months consumption in cases where the meter is installed. This amount will be paid at the time of new connection and changing account name. This deposit will be refunded when the customer is moving out of the premise. It will be required for the customer to come to the BWB to turn off the supply and reclaim the deposit.
