Connecting to pressure sewer
Step 1: Do you have pressure sewer unit equipment installed on your property?
If you have a tank with a green, round lid visible on your property, go to Step 3.
If not, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: If you haven’t already done so, book a consultation at your property
Book your consultation online
Our specialist contractor, Pressure Sewer Services Australia (PSSA), will meet you at your property, choose a location for the new equipment and answer any questions you have.
Step 3: Get plumber quotes
Organise quotes from licensed plumbers to connect your household plumbing to the new equipment and to decommission your septic tank.
We strongly recommend you get multiple quotes and you can use any licensed plumber you choose.

Step 4: Choose a plumber and apply to connect
After you’ve chosen a plumber, either you or your plumber can apply to connect using the following forms.
Property owner: apply to connect
Plumber: apply to connect on behalf of the property owner
After we receive the form, PSSA will coordinate with you and your plumber for the installation of the equipment and commissioning of the system.
Make sure your plumber doesn’t start any work until they receive a ‘consent to connect’ from us. If they’re unsure, they can get more information at yvw.com.au/plumberinfo.
