What Blocks Drains on the Peninsula
Flats outnumber houses
The last census counted 74.5 per cent of dwellings here as flats or apartments, which means a drain fault usually sits in a stack or common lateral serving several homes rather than one private house line.
The pipes beneath them are old
Council finished sewing New Farm in the mid-1930s, so the drains serving the older houses and flats have been in the ground for generations. Earthenware joints shift and crack, and every offset catches wipes and paper.
Verge trees reach the joints
The streets south of Brunswick Street carry very large trees, and their fine roots push into any joint that has opened on the old lines beneath the road and verge.
The cafe strip shares your drain
Restaurants and cafes along Brunswick Street and around Merthyr Village sit under or beside the flats, so kitchen fat thickens inside laterals your bathroom also uses.
Stormwater heads downhill to the river
Rain falling on the ridge streets travels toward the river-edge blocks, along drains first laid in the late 1880s and finished with the 1909 works, which now take more paved run-off than their makers allowed for.

New Farm Drainage Questions
Call (07) 3112 7997Do the big trees around Moray Street block the old drains?
Roots from those verges work into the earthenware joints and thicken until paper and wipes snag on them, so we clear the line first and follow with a camera to see how far the roots run.
Who pays when a shared stack blocks in a New Farm walk-up flat?
The camera settles it, because the footage shows whether the stoppage sits inside one flat's fixtures or down the common lateral, and the owner or body corporate books the fix from there.
Does the fat from Brunswick Street shops reach house drains?
Yes, where flats sit above or behind the shop rows the laterals serve both, so the fat from those kitchens sets hard in the same pipe your bathroom drains through.
Which pipes around New Farm belong to me?
You maintain the drain inside your boundary out to the connection point, and Urban Utilities maintains the street main, so the camera footage shows which side of that line the fault sits on.
Can you get to New Farm the same day?
Mornings are best: call early and we can usually attend your drain that same day, though a busy board can still push a booking out to the following morning.
