  3. Remember to bring a copy of proof of ownership (title deed, offer…) and a letter from your Local Government.
  4. Arrangements for the plumber to visit your site will be agreed within seven (7) working days so as to familiarize with the area and identify the nearest water tapping points possible.
  5. For distance not exceeding 60m, you will be asked to submit site plan
  6. For distance exceeding 60m, the plumber will communicate the matter with the supervisor for discussions before being allowed to submit the items in 5 above.
