To test for a hidden leak, switch off every tap and appliance and watch the water meter dial. If it’s still turning, water is escaping somewhere on the property.

Which pipes are yours in Tuggerah?

If your home is on Council’s water and sewer, its maintenance and repairs guide sets out who owns what. Central Coast Council is responsible for the water meter, the meter tap and the pipes and inspection points leading to your point of connection. The owner looks after all pipes and fittings on the property from that point. That includes garden taps, the hot water service and water tanks.

For sewer, Council maintains and repairs its sewerage pipes and other assets leading up to the point of connection. The owner is responsible for sewerage pipes and fittings inside the property, up to and including that point. Council’s guide says this covers the boundary shaft, the overflow gully and the inspection opening.

Council’s sewer guide says a blockage or overflow may be its responsibility if the problem is visible outside your property boundary, your neighbours have the same problem, or your boundary shaft is flooded. It adds widespread flooding in your local area. If you’re unsure, call Council on 02 4306 7900 first. Its factsheet says Council will advise if a plumber is required.

Plumbing in Tuggerah’s houses and townhouses

The 2021 Census counted 925 people and 404 private dwellings in Tuggerah. The NSW Electoral Commission lists Tuggerah among the localities partly or wholly in Central Coast Council’s area. Council’s page says the Central Coast Regional Sporting and Recreation Complex sits on 18.28 hectares of land at Tuggerah and has nine playing fields.

Most Tuggerah homes are separate houses, and 93 are townhouse-style. In 2021, 136 homes were rented. A rented home still has an owner, and Council’s guides put the pipes and fittings on the property in the owner’s hands.

Stormwater runs in a separate system from the sewer. Council says all stormwater must connect to the stormwater system. Illegal connections into the sewer can overload it in heavy or prolonged rain, causing an overflow on your property or a neighbour’s. We also do stormwater drain installation.

Council’s blockage factsheet says the sewer inspection shaft sits in the lowest part of the property, close to the boundary. Lift the lid to see if it’s overflowing, and stop and call Council if you feel pressure. You can also pour a bucket of water down the shaft. The table shows what you see and who deals with it, for homes on Council’s sewer.
