Plumbing in Seaford
Sand over the old swamp
Seaford was part of the original Carrum Swamp and, once drained, was initially a sandmining area. Seaford east was low-lying and swampy and only began to sell for housing after the war.
Melbourne Water says the Seaford Wetlands have been kept to provide flood protection, and a Melbourne Water pumping station sits on Kananook Creek at Palm Beach Drive.
Belvedere Bushland Reserve keeps remnant Sandy Heath, Heathy Woodland and Swampy Woodland, the kind of ground the eastern streets were built over.

Seaford questions
Old station sites and sandy ground
Is there anything under the old station site?
The Former Seaford Railway Station Precinct is on the Victorian Heritage Inventory because its subsurface remains may include early twentieth century drainage and septic systems.
Do heritage listings affect plumbing in Seaford?
Only at the listed places: St Anne's Catholic Church on Austin Road and the former railway substation are individually heritage listed, so external pipework there is checked with council first. An ordinary house is not affected.
