Our team are on hand to assist both new and existing customers with the standpipe and licence application process and to ensure that you receive your metered standpipe quickly and efficiently. All applicants must obtain the correct water licence, which is based on your likely daily water requirements.

Please note that only approved standpipes obtained through Aquam Water Services Ltd are authorised to be used on the Thames Water network and the use of any other equipment will neither be compliant nor legal and could result in prosecution.

If you witness an unapproved standpipe being used please report it to us either directly to the depot or via the link on this page. All reports are treated in the strictest confidence.
