Plumbing in Belgrave Heights
An early estate and its oldest drains
Victorian Places says the Lockwood Estate was subdivided for home sites early last century, and the subdivider's store there was named Belgrave Heights. The earliest lots may carry older drains with later patch repairs in whatever pipe was to hand at the time.
The suburb also has several church camps, convention centres and a Christian school alongside its houses. Sites like those put many fixtures onto one set of drains, so a blockage there usually sits in a larger line than a house would have.

Belgrave Heights questions
Rebuilt roads and new council drains
What happens to a stormwater connection when council rebuilds a road?
It has to meet the new system. Council's works on two Belgrave Heights roads include concrete rollover kerb and channel on both sides with associated underground longitudinal drainage, so a property line there ties into that design, and the plans and point of discharge are checked first.
Why do the oldest lots need a camera first?
Drains on the first home sites have had decades of repairs, often in different materials, and a camera shows each patch and joint before a price.
Who maintains the drains on a large camp site?
It depends on the site. Several buildings often share one set of lines, so the person responsible for each branch is confirmed before work is booked.
