In the past, developers have applied to the regional water and wastewater supplier to have their services connected and their stretch of network adopted. Lengthy processes and high volumes of applications result in long waiting times. These delays have serious financial implications for the developer.
The Lloyds Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS) has been created by the Water Regulations Council to enable contractors to work to their approved code of practice. Through the scheme, developers are able employ contractors to provide this service to the exacting standards required, ensuring that the water company will adopt the network after installation. This fast-tracks the process.
Our company is one of only 48 organisations in the UK that hold full accreditation to provide a fully managed end-to-end service for developers. This cost-saving solution encompasses every element of the process from design and construction to live connection.
