Planning to Build or Need a New Water Connection?
Please talk to To Tatou Vai (TTV) first.

If you’re planning to build, renovate, or need a new water connection, all water connections and water supply requirements must be applied for through To Tatou Vai (TTV).

We recommend applying well in advance — preferably weeks or even months ahead — as assessments and any required works take time.

Why come and talk to us?

We understand the process may sometimes feel slow, or the outcome may not always be what you expect. However, speaking with our team allows us to:

  • Explain your available options
  • Discuss any limitations
  • Help find the best solution for your situation

We’re here to help and guide you through the process.

Important Notice

⚠️ Do not connect water yourself or through a contractor without approval.
Unauthorised water connections are illegal and may be disconnected without notice.

To avoid delays or disappointment, please follow the correct process.
