The local plumbing picture in Geelong West
- Original earthenware sewer lines with mortared joints, and established street trees directly above them. Roots look for the moisture at those joints.
- Galvanised supply pipe can still be in service in unrenovated houses, and it produces pinhole leaks that show up as a rising water bill rather than a visible burst.
Geelong West conditions
Geelong West reads about 32 m above sea level at its centre, with the ring 250 m out between 27 and 35 m. Corio Bay is 1.0 km away and the Barwon 2.1 km, so neither the bay nor the river is close enough to shape the plumbing here; the age of the pipe does. A rising water bill with no visible leak is worth a half-hour meter test before anything is opened up: turn every tap off, read the meter, and read it again 30 minutes later. If the number moved, water is leaving the pipe somewhere.
