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
Lakelands counted 506 occupied homes at the 2021 Census, 476 of them separate houses. Gas is confirmed address by address: we read the meter, or find the LPG cylinders, before pricing.
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 Lakelands, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Lakelands
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Lakelands 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.
Jobs to book
Local context
Lakelands began in 1989 as an estate built around an artificial lake, on former mining company land owned by Investpec Pty Ltd, with Don Fox Planning as the major developer. Its street names come from the English Lake District. The Lymington Colliery tunnel was in Lakelands, and coal went by horse-drawn skip along a skipway to the colliery railway in Cardiff South. The Geographical Names Board set the suburb boundaries on 31 May 1991. A house built when the estate opened is now more than 35 years old, so check what is installed before a renovation.
