Water, sewer & backflow
Hunter Water supplies water and sewer here, and backflow test reports are lodged with Hunter Water. What the annual backflow test involves
At the 2021 Census Argenton had semi-detached homes and townhouses (12.1%) and a few flats (3.0%) as well as separate houses. Each gas quote starts with the meter and any LPG cylinders on site.
Josh holds the gas licence as well as the plumbing licence, so the gas connection and the compliance certificate are part of the same job.
We repair, replace and install gas, electric, heat pump and continuous-flow hot water units in Argenton, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.

We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Argenton with the jetter or the drain machine, and put a camera down a drain that keeps blocking.
In Hunter Water’s area the owner looks after the sewer pipes up to where they join Hunter Water’s system, including the boundary trap and inspection shaft. If the inspection shaft is full or overflowing, the blockage may be in Hunter Water’s main, so call Hunter Water on 1300 657 000 (24/7) first.

Local context
Argenton takes its name from the Sulphide Corporation, which treated metals including gold and silver-lead: "argent" is French for silver, and Silverton near Broken Hill was already taken. The Mines Rescue Station began operating in October 1927, and the Waratah Golf Club, founded in 1901, has been on its present site since 1920. Council gives 1950 for sewerage. The Planning Portal’s Subsidence Advisory layer shows almost all of Argenton inside the Lake Macquarie Mine Subsidence District, where approval from Subsidence Advisory NSW is needed before building or extending a home.
The NSW EPA’s Lead Abatement Strategy Area covers land it considers potentially contaminated by lead from the former Pasminco smelter, and Argenton is one of the three suburbs the EPA names. Its map shows which properties are in the area and its guidance covers soil dug from them, so check both before a drain or water service is trenched: NSW EPA: lead soil disposal for Lake Macquarie residents.
