Recycled water inspections
Your plumber must contact Coliban Water's approved contractor with at least 48 hours notice to book an inspection at each stage. There are three stages that one of our authorised staff will need to do an inspection on. The first and final stage inspections are mandatory and the plumber must be on site for this.
Stage 1 - Tapping inspection
Coliban Water's approved contractor will do this as part of the tapping and meter installation.
The remainder of inspections can be booked online by clicking Recycled Water Inspection Request and providing at least 48 hours' notice.
Stage 2 - R1 meter to house
The completion of pipework between the water meter and the building, but before back-filling of trenches.
Stage 3 - R2 rough-in
The completion of pipework inside building, but before internal insulation or cladding is installed such as plasterboard.
Stage 4 - R3 final commissioning
All plumbing work is completed, but before the building is occupied and completion certificates have been lodged.
Fees
A $331.54 inspection fee applies to residential property owners.
