If you need an additional water supply, you can hire a standpipe. Our approved supplier for standpipe hire is Aquam Water Services (Aquam).  You must go through them if you wish to make use of this service.

The legal bit

 

Unauthorised access to our hydrants and washout and the use of standpipes not supplied by Aquam, could:

 

  • Create a potential risk to water quality and damage our infrastructure.
  • Interfere with our operations or that of fire service activities.
  • Contravene the Water Industry Act. 

It is a criminal offence to:

  • Use a standpipe which is not hired from us or our approved supplier
  • Take water without permission from a non-approved hydrant and to knowingly do so would lead to prosecution.

Why you should use Aquam?
