possible.
f. Pipes crossing culverts shall be over the same and over the wing wall, wherever possible.
g. Pipe crossing drains shall be over the same and flush with the top of the drain, wherever possible, provided
that it will not obstruct the flow of water in the drain. Pipes crossing over drains shall not obstruct footpath
and cause safety hazard to pedestrians and road users. Where the drain is less than 750mm deep and not
more than 1m wide, the pipe may be installed under the drain, provided that the drain is designed such that

In the event that a development project is divided into phases, the WSA shall at its discretion require a meter to
be installed at the tie-in point to the existing water mains at the Developer’s cost. The Developer shall apply for
the meter as the registered consumer of the meter and shall be responsible for paying the bills issued for this
meter. This meter shall register the volume of water flowing into the development area. Should there be
individual consumers who have been fixed with water meters by the WSA, the volume registered by these
individual meters will be deducted from the zone meter and the balance billed to the Developer. Any new
connections to the water supply system shall only be carried out after the Developer has settled all the bills.

4.9 Storage Reservoir Requirement & Capital Contribution
The developer shall provide a high level reservoir/tank of storage capacity for one day use for schemes with 400
or more units of houses or shop lots or with estimated consumption of 500,000 litres/day and above.
Where there is an existing reservoir that is of sufficient capacity and head to cater for demand of the
development scheme, the requirement for a new reservoir may be waived provided that the developer pays a
proportionate capital contribution towards the costs of the construction of the existing reservoir. The amount of
contribution will be determined by the WSA.
Notwithstanding the above, the developer will be required to pay a portion of the cost of existing reservoirs or
storage tanks which directly serve the development area. Such contribution for the development scheme will be
determined by the WSA.
Where the development scheme is implemented on an elevation that is too high to be supplied with water from
the existing water supply system round the clock, the Developer shall at his own costs construct and install a
high level water tank, a suction tank and a pumping system to supply water to the development scheme. The
WSA is not obliged to take over such a water supply system. Where the system is not taken over by the WSA,
the Developer shall be billed in bulk the water supplied to the scheme. The pumping system shall be designed by
a competent Mechanical and Electrical Engineer.
