Stormwater

• Is it okay to put paint, oil or other substances into a stormwater drain?

  Only water can be discharged to the stormwater system. If you have accidentally spilt other liquids into a drain phone Council on 03 520 7400 (24-hour service). Stormwater drains discharge to local streams, rivers and harbours. Chemical spills can cause harm to these environments.

• What can I do if my property is flooded?

  Call Council on 03 520 7400 (24-hour service). A member of staff will call to inspect the property as soon as possible. It may not be possible for staff to visit immediately if a severe storm is occurring. Please take photographs of any flooding so assessment and future design work can be carried out after the storm has passed.

• Where are stormwater mains located?

  You will need to contact the Council offices on phone 03 520 7400.
