# Activate New Connections
Once the application for new water or sewerage connection is approved and the citizen has paid the applicable connection charges, the CE is responsible for activating the new connection.
To activate new connections -
Search for the applications that are **Pending for Connection Activation**. Click on the **Application No.** to open the application.
Click on the **Take Action** button and click on the **Edit** option to enter connection activation details.
Review the **Connection Details** and the list of **Documents** furnished with the application.
Enter the connection details in the **Additional Details** section of the application.
Enter the **Connection Execution Date**. The connection will be activated on the specified date. For metered connections, enter the **Meter ID**, **Meter Installation Date**, and **Initial Meter Reading (KL)**.
Click on **Next Step** in the **Summary** section of the application. Review the application details. Click on the **Take Action** button and then click on the **Activate Connection** option.
Enter any **Comments** for activating the connection. Click on the **Activate Connection** button.
The connection activation success message is displayed on the screen. A system generates a unique **Consumer No.** to identify the connection.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.digit.org/local-governance/access/local-governance-stack/water-and-sewerage/w-and-s-user-manual/w-and-s-employee-user-manual/activate-new-connections.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
