Drainage TV Ltd are the specialists in CCTV Inspections, and they are finding that 80-90% of their workload is in providing a Works Over Inspection to comply with council regulations. Basically every time you need to build over or near a Watercare Sewer Line Drainage TV are required to inspect it prior to building, and after the building is completed.

A works over is any activity being carried out over or in the vicinity of a public water or wastewater pipe. The reason that the works over permission is necessary is that construction or excavation activities may cause damage to Watercare’s assets, and in some cases restrict their ability to maintain them in the future. For anyone wishing to carry out any construction works or excavations close to or over Watercare’s networks they will require approval from Watercare.

Auckland Council also requires Watercare's works over approval before issuing a building consent, and to find out more about whether they need a works over permission, intending builders should visit the Watercare website at
