               Use limitations for private fire hydrant booster pumps directly connected to Unitywater’s
    3.04
               water supply network
               Unless permitted by this water approval, the use of private pressure boosting pumps for fire
               flow purposes that are proposed to connect directly to Unitywater’s water supply mains may
               not be permitted by Unitywater. Enquire with Unitywater’s Development Services team prior
               to lodging a connection approval application to ascertain the appropriate requirements in
               relation to a proposal to directly connect pressure boosting pumps to the water supply
               network.
               Unitywater does not take any responsibility for the performance of the water supply network
               required by the Developer in its demonstration of compliance with QFES standards for
               building fire protection installations including, but not limited to, a fire brigade booster
               assembly or a fire hydrant pumpset connected to an internal and external(onsite) fire
               hydrant system.
               Instead, this is the responsibility of the Developer and its representatives, such as a
               (suitably experienced and qualified) fire and hydraulic consulting engineer.
               To assist the Developer and its representatives in its determination of suitability of the
               proposed direct fire pumpset connection and fire hydrant system to meet QFES
               requirements, Unitywater offers a service that provides outputs of modelled network
               performance at the site property boundary. A link to ‘Application for Hydraulic Model
               Pressure and Flow Information - F8578 ‘ can be found on Unitywater’s webpage:

    3.06       Level of service
               The Water and Sewerage Services Code for Small Customers in South East Queensland
               and the Unitywater’s Customer Service Standard specify the level of service for Unitywater’s
               water supply and sewerage services.

    3.07       Other services
               It is the Applicant’s responsibility to acquire the necessary approvals from the relevant
               authority or service provider to alter or relocate their service.

    3.08       Other approval requirements and compliance with all laws
               This approval only authorises the connection to Unitywater’s infrastructure. This approval
               does not remove the need for other approvals in order to carry out the necessary work for
               the development.
               For example, the Applicant should consider the need to comply with relevant standards and
               obtain approvals for impacts arising from sediment and erosion control, flora and fauna and
               traffic/roads, including traffic management etc.
               The Applicant is responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals for its development and
               complying with all laws including all environmental laws.
    3.10       No works authorised
               The applicant is not to carry out property infrastructure works or network works that are not
               approved by Unitywater, until after the necessary phase of water approval is granted.

    3.11       Design and construction
               Prior to network works approval, any water supply and sewerage works must be designed in
               accordance with the South East Queensland Water Supply and Sewerage Design and
               Construction Code, Unitywater’s Connections Administration Manual, or Unitywater’s
               Accreditation and Certification Manual, and any other matter Unitywater considers to be
               relevant to the connection or establishment of its water services or sewerage services.
