New Sewerage System

New and Improved Warrandyte Sewerage System

New Sewer Connection – Warrandyte and Surrounds

It’s now time to connect the new sewerage system!

Due to upgrades to an outdated sewerage system, around 1000 properties in North Warrandyte are now ready to connect to the new and improved sewerage system.

If your property has been affected, you will have received a letter from Yarra Valley Water advising you that your home can now be connected to the new system.

There are two main types of sewerage systems:

1. Gravity Sewer Systems

These systems collect and dispose of sewerage where the landscape has a gradual slope, allowing the sewerage to flow naturally downhill, away from your property and into the collection network. See more here about how to connect.

2. Pressure Sewer Systems

These systems are used in both very hilly and very flat areas that regularly flood or have high water tables. Pumping units located at each individual property transfer the wastewater via a small pipeline within the property to the pressure sewer located in the street. It is then transferred to the nearest sewerage treatment facility.

Regardless of which system you have (or if you’re unsure which system you have), you will need to engage a licensed plumber to connect your property to the sewer. Call H2-Pro today.

North Warrandyte Community Sewerage Project

Your local water company is responsible for the effective distribution of potable water and for the safe collection of wastewater.

Many houses in the north and eastern suburbs were built before more modern sewerage solutions were available, and as a result, these homes are connected to outdated septic tanks.

Recently, the Nillumbik Shire Council identified homes in the local area that could not effectively manage their wastewater due to these hazardous septic systems. This was resulting in harmful contamination of our local waterways!

After these findings, Yarra Valley Water created the North Warrandyte Community Sewerage Project.
