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
Almost a fifth of Whitebridge’s 1,057 occupied dwellings are semi-detached, row, terrace or townhouse types (2021 Census), so each quote starts with the meter or LPG cylinders for that dwelling, read 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 Whitebridge, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Nearby job: Hot water replacement in Merewether
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Whitebridge 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
Coal mining began at Whitebridge in 1888, and council’s history says Burwood Colliery went on to have five shafts here, with workings that ran for a kilometre under the sea and as far as Gateshead, Charlestown and Merewether. It closed in 1982. The Glenrock plan of management says the New Burwood Colliery site became the Dudley Beach Estate. By council’s dates, town water reached Whitebridge in 1928 and sewerage followed in 1959. Subsidence Advisory NSW’s map puts Whitebridge inside the Lake Macquarie Mine Subsidence District, so an owner planning a new house or extension asks that authority for approval first.

Professional with high attention to detail
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.
