Frequently Asked Questions

Are you authorised to install, relocate, and disconnect water meters on the Gold Coast?

Yes. Streamworks Plumbing and Backflow are fully authorised to install, relocate, and disconnect water meters across the Gold Coast. As an accredited contractor, we are part of the select group approved by the City of Gold Coast to carry out standard connections, which include basic installations and relocations. We are also one of the few contractors authorised to handle more complex, non-standard connections that involve significant excavation, upgrades, or extensions to the city’s infrastructure. Whether your project is simple or complex, we ensure all work complies with local regulations.

Can you handle both standard and non-standard water meter installations on the Gold Coast?

Yes. At Streamworks Plumbing and Backflow, we are qualified to manage both standard and non-standard, more complex water meter installations. A standard installation typically involves minimal disruption and doesn’t require upgrades to city infrastructure, while non-standard installations may require significant excavation, extensions, or upgrades. We are not only accredited for standard installations but also have the specialised operational approvals necessary for non-standard connections. Whether your installation is straightforward or requires more complex work, our team ensures the job is done efficiently and in line with Gold Coast Council requirements.

How do I know if my water meter project is a standard or non-standard job?

Your water meter project’s complexity depends on your property’s specific requirements. A standard water meter project is relatively simple and does not involve major excavation or upgrades to city infrastructure. If this is the case, Streamworks Plumbing and Backflow, as an accredited contractor, can handle the job. However, it would be considered a non-standard project if your relocation requires more complex work, such as infrastructure upgrades or significant excavation. Our plumbing company is one of the few contractors approved to manage these more challenging installations or relocations, ensuring full compliance with City of Gold Coast regulations.

Can you handle water meter disconnections for demolition and redevelopment projects?

Yes. Streamworks Plumbing and Backflow is authorised to handle water meter disconnections for both demolition and redevelopment projects on the Gold Coast. If your project falls under a standard disconnection, which involves no major infrastructure changes, we can quickly and efficiently complete the job. We are fully equipped and accredited to handle more complex, non-standard disconnections that may also require operational approvals or infrastructure modifications. We ensure all work complies with City of Gold Coast regulations and is completed with minimal disruption to your water services.

How can I tell if there is a leak in my water meter, and can you help with repairs?

To check for leaks, you can start by locating your water meter and recording the reading. After 24 hours without using water, compare the new reading to the original. If the numbers have increased, there may be a leak. Streamworks Plumbing and Backflow can assist in identifying and repairing leaks, whether it’s a simple issue with a sub-meter or a more complex situation involving a sub-divisional meter. Our plumbers are experienced in all aspects of water meter maintenance and repairs, ensuring your water usage remains efficient and your property is protected from potential damage.

How to Read Your Water Meter and Check for Leaks

High water bills and suspect a leak? The first step is to read your water meter. Begin by turning off all taps, then locate the meter and take note of the reading. After an hour—or longer, if possible—recheck the meter. Subtract the first reading from the second to determine your water usage over that period.
