Apply for a water supply at your event

If you are planning a public event in our region, we may be able to provide you with a temporary water supply.


Supplying charity and not-for-profit events

If you are running a charity-led or not-for-profit event, we may be able to provide our water refill units and/or a standpipe free of charge.  

They are allocated at our discretion, depending on available resources and the feasibility of supplying water at your event location. We will also manage any sampling requirements free of charge.  

Where we agree to supply water for free, we ask that we can include branding and campaign messaging at the event, and in the promotion leading up to the event. This will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

Supplying commercial events 

If you are planning a commercial event (eg, a food festival), you may be able to connect to our network via a temporary standpipe from an approved hydrant point.

We only allow standpipe rental from our supplier – Aquam Water Services. You will be charged for this service.

We will review your application and then recommend the most suitable type of water supply for your event. We do not offer water bowsers or tankers, but a private or commercial supplier may be able to provide you with these.

Who to contact 

If you are a non-household customer, you must inform your water retailer about your event. You will then need to notify us by completing the online form below. If you are a household customer, you will only need to complete our online form. 

Please give us plenty of notice so that we can review your application and make the necessary checks and arrangements. You must apply at least six weeks before the event.

The easiest way to apply is online. You will need to attach a PDF copy of your event management plan as part of your application.
