Report a sewer blockage or overflow

If you have a non-urgent sewer blockage on your property, report this to us before you call a plumber. We will investigate, and if the issue is in Council’s main, we’ll clear the blockage at no cost to you.

If we discover the problem is within your property, we will advise you to contact a plumber.

Signs of a non-urgent blocked sewer:

  • Toilets, basins, baths or tubs are slow to empty or make gurgling noises.
  • Toilets fill higher than usual or overflow.
  • Yard gully overflows when the toilet is flushed or when basins or baths are released.

If you are experiencing a sewer overflow, call us immediately. We are available 24/7 and will respond as soon as possible.
