Sydney Water Certificates provide information on a property that is needed in the purchasing, development or building of a property. This information is supplied to triSearch through Sydney Water.

Sydney Water Certificates available through triSearch include:

• Section 66
  Referred to as a Conveyancing Certificate, it identifies the current water rate charges remaining on a property. This allows for the charges to be allocated accordingly between the previous and new owners.

• Service Location Print
  This diagram shows the pipes and structures on the property and the point of connection to the wastewater system. The diagram is used to provide further information about the property pipes to check:

  • The point of connection
  • Location of pipes
  • Distance between the existing building and pipes.

• Sewer Service Diagram
  This diagram shows the private sewer pipes on the property. They are used to check if the plumbing on the property has been inspected and where the private pipes are crossing the property.

• Section 88G
  This certificate provides all the charges billed to the previous property owners that are not covered by the normal charges on a bill. They are used by selling agents and conveyancers to find out if they have any outstanding debts owning, not shown on the normal bills.

• Special Meter Reading
  A meter reading enables a last bill to be issued before the leasing or selling of a property. They are used to finalise the calculation of water use since the last water reading.

• BOS/BAS letter
  A Building over Sewer or Building adjacent to Sewer (BOS/BAS) details if an approved building is close to sewer pipes. This notifies you if a building on a property has been built with approval from Sydney Water.

• Statement of Available Pressure and Flow
  A Statement of Available Pressure and Flow (SAP) identifies available flow and pressure at any hydrant in the area. This assists with the design on internal water services.
