Plumbing in Highton
- Stormwater that leaves one property can arrive at another, so a blocked pit or a loose downpipe is a neighbour's problem as well as yours.
- Established trees through the older parts, with the gutter and downpipe load that comes with them each autumn.
About Highton
Highton's measured centre is about 32 m above sea level, and the ring 250 m out spans 26 to 47 m, one of the wider spreads among the thirteen suburbs on this site. A 90 m model cannot say which way one block falls; levels taken on site can. A question worth asking in a downpour: where does the water arriving at your pits come from? A pit that copes in normal rain but overflows in heavy rain is either blocked or taking more than your own roof. The Barwon River is 0.9 km from the centre. Newer streets run PVC drainage with sealed joints; in older streets under established trees, earthenware joints and roots still apply.
