                 application. Further information on this process is available at Unitywater website

              This proposal would require the applicant to apply to Unitywater for a ‘A&C Connection
               Application’ which includes application/s for ‘network works’. For further information on this
               process refer to Unitywater’s website at http://unitywater.com/Building-and-developing.

              For current information in relation to all Unitywater’s fees applicable to connection

             Fire Fighting Requirements
              Direct connection of pressure boosting pumps to Unitywater network is not favoured by
                Unitywater. Sometimes the requests may be considered depending on the capacity,
                condition and sufficient connectivity of the reticulation system in the area. If there is any
                such proposal, details of the pumps (pump curves and design calculations) needs to
                be submitted to Unitywater’s Development Services for approval prior to installation.
                This request shall include a certification by the hydraulic consultant that the maximum
                flow rate of the installed pumps will be no greater than Unitywater’s standards of service,
                relevant for the site.

              Unitywater’s level of service towards firefighting capacity is guided by SEQ Design &
               Construction Guidelines whereas the internal fire suppression systems of buildings shall
               comply with the requirements of AS 2419.Therefore it is the responsibility of the developer
               to design and install the necessary infrastructure such as pumps, break tanks etc, so that
               the internal fire suppression system complies with the relevant standards.

              The Usage of street hydrants as standalone firefighting facility to a building will be entirely
               at the risk of the developer. Unitywater will not guarantee that the street hydrants will comply
               with the requirements of AS 2419 or of QFES. This applies to dry hydrant systems too.

              Unitywater, at its discretion, may change the operational regime of its water mains.
               However, it won’t be changed below Unitywater’s minimum level of service towards street
               hydrants. These values are shown in Table 1 below. For more details, please refer to the
               latest version of SEQ Design & Construction Code.

              It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that it has all necessary consents and approvals
               to carry out any connection related works in a publicly controlled place (e.g. Council, DTMR)
               or property that is not owned or controlled by the Applicant prior to starting such works.
