If construction work is being done at a defined distance owned by the Sydney water's sewer, then it is a must to peg out. This is done to make sure that it causes no damaging risk to the sewer. Hence, a service protection report is very important to resolve as where exactly it lies.
A Service Protection Report is also popularly called the Peg Out. It resolves if your construction lies within the influence zone. All the civil and plumbing works follow the Sydney Water or the Water Servicing Coordinator. They help in finding out where it exactly lies and presents a sewer survey. This helps in the development as to whether to carry on with the work or not. The service protection report is a condition and is a must by the law.
A few of the examples in which the service protection report is a must are, when a pool is installed, building a garage, granny flat, deck or carport, making additions or alterations to your property or when building plans are designed over the sewer.
What does the Service Protection Service Involves?
Sydney’s water check agent will take the aid of calculations to find out whether the development is outside or inside the influence zone. He will look into the depth of the asset and multiply it by two.
If the development falls outside the zone of influence area, he will quickly approve the plans and will stamp the consent plans. But if your development falls under the influence zone, then the process of approval will take some time. The process will have to be approved by the ESC – Water Serving Coordinators. It will be followed by Service Protection Report or the Peg Out which would be set by the Sydney Waters. Only after the consented report, the approval will be preceded and granted.
The service protection report will have enough information that will help your structural engineer and architect to make the necessary arrangements and adjustments. It will then be preceded for the final approval.
It is a rule in Sydney that you get it approved by the Sydney water if your building plan falls near the sewer. It is mandatory to show the report to the concerned authorities so that the building does not fall under illegal construction. It is better to get it approved and design it accordingly than face severe penalties.
The report is carried on by professionals and they are available on the call. They will first inspect the area physically and locate the sewer. They will first ensure whether it falls under the zone or not. They will then plan it accordingly using the data and will draft technologically advanced packages.
The final step would be the provision of the professional plan to the Sydney water detailing the sewer infrastructure which is located within the proposed development area. After the water servicing coordinator goes through the final plan, he will then approve it and then you can start your plan accordingly.
