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
Barnsley’s homes are nearly all separate houses (646 private dwellings in 2021), so gas is checked house by house. A meter at the boundary or LPG cylinders by the wall show what can be connected.
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 Barnsley, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.

We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Barnsley 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
Barnsley was called Teralba until April 1891, when the school took the name Barnsley, probably after the Yorkshire coalmining town that early settler David Johnson’s property was named for. About 1890 J.C. Bonarius tried to float a coal mining company called Central Wallsend and subdivided the adjoining land, which he named Barnsley. Orchards, dairy farms and vegetable farms were typical of the area, and Lake Macquarie City Council’s local history entry gives 1949 for the water supply. Where a house stood before 1949, any connection to council water came later, so ask when its supply pipe was last renewed.
Customer feedback
My husband spoke with Josh the owner about our hot water service in the afternoon. By the next day it was installed and working. Great service. Great price. Very impressed.
Highly recommended! Excellent communication and response time. Installation of our hot water system was without delay and, professionally executed by Josh who even cleaned up afterwards - Great price too! Thanks Donza Plumbing Pty Ltd
