Who will fix the tap at your water meter?
Meter taps
You'll find your meter tap next to your water meter. The meter tap controls the water supply to your property although it's not a regular tap. You can turn it on and off, but you can't connect a hose to the meter tap and you can't use it to fill a bucket.

If you also have a regular tap near your meter, you can use it to access water.

The meter tap controls the water supply to your property. It's not a standard garden tap.
Who's responsible for what?
We own and maintain the large pipes (mains) in the street and the water meter at your property.

The property owner is responsible for all the pipes and fittings that connect to the main. This includes the meter tap.

Who can fix the meter tap?
Licensed plumbers can repair the meter tap at your cost. However, we'll fix the tap within 10 working days for free as a courtesy to you. Usually we'll fix it within five days.

Call 13 20 90 to request this service.

How can you get your meter fixed more quickly?
Call 13 20 90 to report the fault and ask for our WaterFix® Express Meter Taps service.

For just $99 (including GST) we'll call at your property within three hours to start fixing your tap.

If you call after 5 pm, we’ll do the repair between 7 and 10 am the next day.

We'll add the $99 fee to your next water bill.
If the meter tap and pipe near it has been damaged, eg run over, hit by a lawn mower or vandalised, we may charge you extra to fix it.

Please read our Responsibilities of connected customers policy to find out more.
How can you get a diagram showing Sydney Water's pipes and assets on your property?
Service location diagrams are plans created from our computerised mapping system that show our pipes and structures.

You can request a Service location diagram online at Sydney Water Tap in™ or from a Property Link broker.

These diagrams show:
- our water, wastewater and stormwater pipes
- a property's point of connection to our wastewater system
- structures or valves that help us operate our systems
- property and road information.
If you're building developing, or renovating, you may need to know about the steps for first time builders.
How can you change the mailing address for your bill?
If you're a property owner, managing agent or authorised representative, you can update an address by completing our Mailing address changes form.

You'll need a copy of the bill on hand to complete the form.

If you need to change more than one mailing address, please submit a separate form for each property.

Are you buying or selling a property?

If you didn’t originally set up your Direct Debit online or can't remember the email address you used to register, please call us on 8849 4949 during working hours.
Need to stop a payment?
To stop your Direct Debit payment, please call us on 13 20 92 at least two working days before the due date.

What are the Water Wise Guidelines?
Water Wise Guidelines are simple, common sense actions about the way we use drinking water outside.

The NSW Government has announced that Water Wise Guidelines have replaced water restrictions and apply to everyone in Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra. This includes all residents and businesses.

If we all do our bit and save a little, it will make a big difference across Greater Sydney.
Find out more about Water Wise Guidelines.
