Water meter relocation FAQs
Sydney Water has a number of rules and regulations associated with the relocation of water meters, particularly if you are moving the meter a distance further than 3m from its original position. In this instance, you must apply for a new water connection and also apply to disconnect the old water service. This is carried out via Sydney Water Tap In console.
The property owner is responsible for the cost of moving the water meter to a new location.
Your water meter can only be disconnected if you’re actually disconnecting a water service. This may occur when a property is going to be permanently vacant, the result of fire, you’re installing a self-sufficient drinking water supply or you require a larger meter for a new development.
