Sewerage Blockages
In most areas Council can provide a service of clearing blocked private sanitary pipes.
Blockages can be caused by having foreign objects down your private sanitary pipes or from tree root intrusion. Click on the following attachments "Do you have a monster in your backyard", "Do you have a sewer blockage on your property" and "No Rain Water Down Sewers" to assist in understanding what can be done to prevent and protect your sanitary drainage pipes and Council wastewater infrastructure.
Should a blockage occur you are encouraged to contact a private plumber first. Should Council be required to clear a blockage from a private sanitary drain, then a charge will apply.
For further information and details on blockages and relevant charges contact Council Customer Service on 1300 883 699.
