Plumbing notes for Herne Hill
- Housing of that era was still laid on earthenware sewers with mortared joints, now under mature street trees: the same pipe and tree combination as Geelong West and Newtown, about a generation younger.
- A sewer blockage surfaces at the lowest fixture or gully on the line, which is not always the one nearest the problem.
Worth knowing about Herne Hill
Herne Hill has the highest measured centre of the thirteen suburbs on this site, about 52 m above sea level, with the ring 250 m out between 50 and 56 m. Height above sea level is not the same as water pressure. Supply pressure depends on how high your tap is relative to the reservoir or tank that feeds your area, so a high suburb can have good pressure and a low one poor pressure. Barwon Water can tell you the expected pressure at an address.
