Water service connection and meter chamber design

The water service connection is the pipe linking the street water main to the property's meter assembly. The meter chamber is the underground chamber housing the water meter and its valves, usually inside the property close to the boundary so the water utility can reach it.

    What we offer

    We design water service connections and meter chambers for new and existing buildings – route, diameter, meter assembly and chamber detail – and support the approval with the water utility. See also service connections.

    What the design includes

    • Site plan with the route from the water main to the meter chamber
    • Diameter sized to the required flow
    • Meter assembly – meter, isolating valves, check valve, strainer
    • Meter chamber detail – dimensions, cover, drainage
    • Specification and bill of quantities

    Meter chamber requirements

    • Located on the property, accessible for reading and maintenance
    • Large enough to fit and replace the meter
    • Protected from frost and surface water
    • Location and meter type follow the water utility's conditions

    When you need a design

    • A new connection to the water main
    • Moving the meter out of the building into a chamber
    • Higher demand and a larger diameter
    • Splitting a property or separate metering

    Regulatory framework

    Designs are prepared in line with Bulgarian legislation, including:

    Frequently asked questions

    Where should the meter chamber be?

    Usually on the property close to the street boundary, accessible to the water utility. The exact position follows the utility's connection conditions.

    Do I need a design to move the water meter?

    Yes. Moving the meter or relocating it to a chamber changes the service connection and must be agreed with the water utility.
