Apply to disconnect a water meter

Disconnection of a water meter may be required:

  • As condition on a water development notice (prior to a dwelling demolition), or
  • If you want to reduce the number of metered connections on a multi-dwelling property

There is no charge to disconnect a water meter service.

Please note: Unless approved in writing by us it is an offence under the Local Government Act (LGA) to tamper with any metered service or fittings owned and operated by Shoalhaven Water.
