Sister Documents and Companion Websites

"Water for Scotland" and its sister document "The Code of Practice for Self-Laying of Water Mains and Services - England and Wales" cover the self-laying of water mains by developers (or self-lay organisations on their behalf). The civil engineering specification in within Water for Scotland aligns with the Civil Engineering Specification for the Water Industry.

These documents are available from WRc.

Companion websites exist for Code of Practice for Self-Laying of Water Mains and Services and Civil Engineering Specification for Water Industry.

Information on the 'WRc Approved' Scheme, which helps manufacturers demonstrate the performance of their products by providing independent certification of products and services for the water industry, can be found on the WRc Approved page.
