Additional information

Contamination and site issues
We must safeguard against contamination of water supplied through our pipes. The supply pipe should not be laid in, on, or pass through any areas which might cause contamination including the following: foul soil, refuse and refuse chutes, ash pits, sewers, drains, cesspools or inspection chambers.

Where the ground is classified as contaminated (e.g. reclaimed land sites), or the supply pipe is close to a petrol or oil source, an alternative pipe material is used. A soils report may be required to determine the type of pipe material that should be installed.
We ask that you share any information you have of known issues that may affect the feasibility and/or timescales for providing a bulk supply to the NAV site.

Traffic Management
We are required to carry out traffic management to ensure that our work can be carried out in a safe way, and to ensure the flow of road and pedestrian traffic is disrupted as little as possible. Traffic management can include, but is not limited to: road closures, lane closures, lane rental, parking bay suspensions, and traffic management drawings.

Parking bays, including residential bays and loading bays, may be suspended for us to be able to work safely. The number of bays on either side of the road will be determined by us and our contractor, and depends on the width of the road, the location of the water main, and the flow of traffic around our works and vehicles.

We are charged for traffic management by the local authority as an additional cost for carrying out work. We will include these additional charges into your quotation where applicable.

Design
There is a charge of £944 + VAT for the design of a branch connection for a NAV scheme, where no other design is undertaken. Should an application not proceed past the quotation stage, Bristol Water will charge a design fee.
