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
Garden Suburb’s 634 occupied homes are almost all separate houses (2021 Census). For a gas hot water unit, cooktop or heater, we check for a meter or LPG cylinders before we quote.
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 Garden Suburb, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Garden Suburb
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Garden Suburb 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
Garden Suburb takes its name from the garden city movement, then in vogue in England, and council notes it never obtained a station. Its first subdivision, declared on 8 January 1918, covered the Prospect Road, Park Road and Marshall Street area. Council records orchards on the western slopes toward Cardiff in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and market gardens in the valley by the creek. Landcom now plans 105 homes at Sugarwood off Myall Road, with about 28 hectares kept as bushland. It describes the neighbourhood as all electric, so hot water there is planned as electric rather than gas.
