Re: Stormwater and charged lines 9Jul 01, 2015 2:20 pm Had a house I built in 1997 that required a pump and despite regular maintenance it failed a couple of times in heavy rain causing garage to flood, I ended up getting an emergency pump as a backup which solved my problems as both times pump failed despite power been ok, I had both connected so at least one could still work if one failed. Re: Stormwater and charged lines 10Apr 21, 2022 5:16 pm I've also got a situation where my property drops back from the street. The council issued a Point of Discharge (LPD) notice being the street kerb at the front of the house. I can add capacity to my rain tanks in the backyard using them for my Onsite Water Detention (OSD) and then run a charged line from the OSD to the street kerb LPD. It would be a simple system and the heights are adequate, however the council has stated they wont allow a charged line, they also wont allow the water to be pumped to the LPD. The alternative they suggested is for me to build a new storm water drainage system running down a lane at the back of my house connecting to the street behind. It would cost me about $50k and the asset once built would be theirs... Lets assume I dont have that much money available, if I were to use the charged line - it will be a private line, any maintenance will not be their issue. My council is Moreland, they have no guidance published on using charged lines, I've googled and noticed several other councils (including the City of Melbourne) have information sheets discussing the use of charged storm water lines. My question is, I'm aware the council sign off or approve the civil design but do they have the authority to stop me using a charged line? Once you know the basics, the rest is easy.
