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
Boolaroo is mainly separate houses (89.3% of occupied dwellings, 2021 Census), plus some semis and flats. Before a gas quote we read the meter, and we ask about LPG cylinders.
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 Boolaroo, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.

We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Boolaroo 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
Council’s history gives the name Boolaroo as an Aboriginal word meaning "place of many flies". The Boolaroo Estate subdivision was declared on 8 October 1896, the year the Sulphide Corporation cleared land for its works, and council gives 1905 for the water supply and 1945 for sewerage. Its heritage plan puts the average lot at about 800 square metres and sees room for further subdivision. A lot that is split, or that gets a second dwelling, needs its water and sewer connections worked out first.
Boolaroo has properties in the NSW EPA’s Lead Abatement Strategy Area, the part of North Lake Macquarie the EPA considers potentially contaminated by lead from the former Pasminco smelter. The EPA maps the properties in it and sets out how soil dug from them can be disposed of, which is worth reading before a job that needs a trench: NSW EPA: lead soil disposal for Lake Macquarie residents.
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
