Wastewater issues can impact public health, the environment and neighbouring properties. This page provides information about common wastewater-related concerns, including septic tank maintenance, inappropriate disposal of waste into stormwater drains, and damaged or overflowing sewer infrastructure.
Learn about septic tank maintenance to help prevent wastewater from draining onto your property.
If waste, chemicals or other liquids are being discharged into a stormwater drain, information is available about reporting and preventing pollution.
Damaged sewer pipes and sewerage backflows are managed by Yarra Valley Water. If you are experiencing a sewer-related issue, contact Yarra Valley Water directly for advice and assistance.
