Hartlepool Water allows developers to self lay water mains and services. 

The work must be carried out by a company that is accredited with the Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS) which is administered by Lloyds Registers

The specification for the laying of self lay water mains and services is defined in Self Laying of  Water Mains and Services, 1st Edition, A Code of Practice for England and Wales published by WRc. and Ofwat's guidance on the self lay of water mains and services.

A useful document 'Competition in providing new water mains and service pipes' (version 3) is available on Ofwat's self lay publications pages
