Stormwater Drainage
Last modified: August 2, 2005 - 3:40 PM
Council is responsible for stormwater drainage in the Great Lakes area.
If you require further information in relation to water or sewerage contact MidCoast Water on 1300 133 455 or visit their web site at www.midcoastwater.com.au for further information.
Cleaning of Stormwater Drains
If there is a pipeline or a drain that is blocked or overgrown you can contact Council's Engineering Services Division by telephone, in writing or in person and place a Service Request for the drain to be inspected and cleared.
In some instances the reeds that grow in drains and wetlands assist in keeping the lakes clean. They slow down the flow of the water allowing sediments to drop out and nutrients to be absorbed. These reeds will not be removed.
Excess Stormwater
From a Public Road
Problems involving surface water entering private property from a roadway, drainage easement or a reserve involves Council. If you have a problem with natural surface water run-off on your street or running off the street onto your property you can contact Council's Engineering Services Division by telephone, in writing or in person and place a Service Request for the drain to be inspected.
From an Adjoining Property
For problems caused by surface or underground water drainage from one property to another refer to Concentrated Water Flow under the heading "Other Stormwater Drainage Issues" below.
All written submissions can be addressed to The General Manager, Great Lakes Council, PO Box 450, Forster, NSW, 2428.
