Hi there, I hope someone can advise on a private storm water connection.
I have around 1800 sqm section in Auckland with an existing residence. The existing house is not connected to public storm water as it was built in the 70's and is on top of a hill. The nearest storm water public line is next to the neighbour who lives further down the hill (2 neighbours, cross lease).
I want to build a private storm water drain in my backyard and connect it to the public line. It may be possible to connect through the neighbor property’s yard underground.
In the application form for a storm water connection, there are three options in the reason for application: subdivision consent application, building consent application and other.
I don’t have any plans for subdivision or building construction at present, but am looking to leave it open for a future owner.
Q 1. If I get permission to lay and connect from my neighbors, will Council accept an application to connect the public storm water without any related applications?
Q 2. If Council does not accept applications for the stormwater connection alone, what are the possible “other” related applications for stormwater connections?
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers.
