Re: Neighbour installed water tank right next to my garage w 19Feb 14, 2017 4:04 pm judder I'm also very confused about the "legislation" of the 500mm clearance, it's black and white, I think? But then some posts here are saying it's not really a concern and some say that a minimum of 50-60mm is suffice? I have only suggested a 50-80mm gap as a compromise to him to avoid things escalating. The legislation states a 500mm set back and is confirmed on many council and other websites. The chance of your neighbour's tank bulging are possible but not probable but he is asking you to accept that albeit small risk and if you don't want to, then you don't have to. He had no legal right to site the tank there. You might be interested to read the Jan 26th 2.18 pm AEST Whirlpool forums post in the link below. Fortunately for that poster, it was a metal water tank and it 'sprung' and emptied...a seamless poly tank will usually remain intact. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1782428 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Neighbour installed water tank right next to my garage w 20Feb 14, 2017 4:06 pm Thanks. Could you clarify this bit as well? "If your site was cut and the tank was on the boundary, then you would have some cause for concern due to the tank's zone of influence." When we rebuild, the land was cut and filled. Do you mean this or do you mean if my land was lower than his?? Thanks for that, the PVC pipe is still about 40cm below ground level and it sticks out of the sand with no end cap or anything on it just open pipe, is this the finished… 2 10459 The unit normally clips into a metal plate screwed to the wall, either plate is not flush, or unit not hooked in and could be hanging from the pipes partly, either might… 2 15786 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16268 |
