Your Wastewater Connection
Council's Wastewater Section manage and maintain wastewater systems from our network up to your property connection point.
The connection point is often found on the property boundary. From this connection point, your home is connected to the sewer system by a single pipe. Damage or blockages within your property boundary are the responsibility of the resident and/or landlord.
New Wastewater Connections

If you are building a house or developing a property that requires a new wastewater connection, the connection will be assessed as part of your Development and/or Section 68 application for the property.
