In order for any water mains to be considered for adoption by Scottish Water they must be laid by an accredited Utility Connection Provider (UCP). A full list of Scottish Water’s accredited UCP’s can be found on the Lloyds Register website www.lloydsregister.co.uk/schemes/WIRS/

A UCP is a company which meets the requirements for accreditation and which has been assessed as competent in accordance with the WIRS scheme requirements.

The Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS) was established to accredit and regulate Utility Connection Providers. This is a national scheme, and ensures regular audit and management of the activity of accredited companies which meet the standards set out for such companies.

If you do not know these details at the time of submitting the form, please inform Scottish Water once the UCP is confirmed.

3.4 Please note that domestic

properties are not required to

be metered as water charges in

Scotland are collected through

Council Tax payments. However,

if a metered supply is required

please request under ‘other’

in table provided.

Connection Size — You are

responsible for making the

necessary assessments and for

the sizing of your connections.

As a guideline for small, single

domestic supplies, a service pipe of

25mm diameter is usually sufficient.

If a service pipe is greater than

32mm please note this is classed

as a non standard connection

and as such your application will

require the following additional

information:

• A Soil Investigation report

• Fire Authority Approval Letter

• Detailed drawing showing valve

arrangements

Material Type — The most

commonly used pipe material for

single properties is Medium-density

polyethylene (MDPE). If however

there are contaminated land issues

copper or barrier pipe may be

a suitable alternative material.

3.5 Please provide information if you

have been requested by building

control or the Fire Authority to

install any fire hydrants and confirm

details of any flow requirements

stipulated.

3.6 If you propose to include a Sprinkler

System at your development, you

will need to submit the following:

• Internal schematics

• Manufacturing specifications

Please ensure any fixtures and

fittings used within the proposed

sprinkler system conform to the

appropriate byelaws.

has still to be applied for, please

complete a Sewer Connection

(SC1) application form.
