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
Council’s local history says Windale’s gas supply was connected in January 1952 but not which gas, so each house’s meter or LPG cylinders are confirmed on site before gas work is quoted.
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 Windale, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Windale
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Windale 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
Windale began as Surprise Township in 1892, named for its isolated and unexpected location, and the Housing Commission opened a development there in 1949, when its first tenant moved in on 18 April. The council’s history counts 813 Housing Commission homes by 1966 and records sewerage for 1959. In the 2021 Census, 78.2% of occupied homes were rented. A house from the early 1950s is worth checking for how its drains were connected when the sewer arrived, and a rental needs the owner’s or agent’s approval before any work is booked.
