What is the Water Main?

This is a 6-inch diameter pipeline that provides the city water supply to your home.  It doesn’t connect to your property directly; instead, a smaller pipe called a gooseneck connects your house to the main.  The water main remains underground along the street, or down an alleyway. Water mains are owned by the city or a utility company. Homeowners wishing to connect to the water main must get permission from the authorities to do so legally.

New Water Mains/Servicing the Water Main

To start a new connection to the main, or modify an existing one, you need a permit from the city.  This is the same if you are making modifications to the existing water main.  Navigating the city’s process and paperwork can be confusingly overwhelming, especially for first-time applicants.  Homeowners must strictly adhere to rules and stipulations listed by the city. It makes sense to call us at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.  Our 20+ years of experience means we’re well versed in finding our way through Ottawa’s plumbing permit procedures.  As we develop a plan for servicing your water main, we will assist with obtaining the required permits and permissions for the project.

Applications for Municipal Service

The City of Ottawa provides this website as guidance on building and renovation permits.  We can assist you with understanding which permits you need, and what requirements you need to fulfill.  Before any work can be done, we need to ensure all permits and permissions have been approved and received.

When you bring us on board to your water main project in Ottawa, we will ensure that

  • All permission and permits have been received, so that work can be performed legally;
  • The location of your water main is identified, and the most suitable layout for the connection is determined.  This will determine the scope of work;
  • The proper location on the water main to connect your gooseneck is selected.

It cannot be stressed enough that proper permits and permissions are required to do any work involving the water main.  Unauthorized work can lead to serious legal problems, especially if the work is not performed properly.
