It's probably gonna be where the lawn is. Question is how can I cover it? I plan to lay artificial lawn in the front. So do they make some kinde of grasstop manhole cover like what I seen upon googling here in Perth? Love to hear your advice. Sigh...Kinda spoilt my mood a bit after seeing the land for first time after titled & settled. Blah...

Our is in the middle of our driveway - we just paved around it. Others I have seen are just covered by artificial turf cut to fit. If you're going to use artificial turf anyway just have a removeable section for it. You might be able to apply to divert the sewer at your expense. In NSW you would contact a Water services co-ordinator and they would give you advice as to whether or not… 1 16458 the manhole is at the change of direction, better to just ask sydney water if it is possible. 1 300 |
