Re: Onsite water detention osd costs 12Feb 26, 2020 10:03 pm tourier Council requirements for this subdivision which was done over two years ago, was that each block.must have stormwater point connecting to public stormwater drain. Looked at legislation and council is required to connect all residential blocks to stormwater. Developer was legally obliged to do so.but forgot to (?) with this block. Remind him! Have you contacted the council about this? If not, doing so should be prioritised. tourier The stormwater point is on the developer's land via easement. Developer has told me I can't access it. Can he stop me? Yes, he can but what is this guy's problem? He sounds like a real hat. tourier Whether I wish to do OSD or not, I have to have a stormwater drain access for excess runoff as developer has said I will be responsible for excess water that falls onto his block below mine. Surface water OSD would require an underground tank and/or a pumping system. Not a good prospect. Maybe you could make a 'natural' detention pond a landscaping feature on your acre. Legislation regarding overland run off differs from State to State with some States allowing natural run off. If the run off is from a hard surface area or a result of altered terrain, it will be a different matter. You need to check your State's legislation. There have been a number of such threads on the Whirlpool Forums Home Lounge over the years. Maybe wander over and do a keyword search in the Home Lounge but just be aware of the date stamps because legislation can change. Is there a block above you that also has run off to your property and then to the hat's property? I know what I would be doing! 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Onsite water detention osd costs 13Feb 27, 2020 7:42 am The developer sold it to someone who we bought it off. There is a block above us that runs onto us. Developer directly below us. Road also runs onto us. that is meant to be a stormwater exit but road is at a higher gradient to block. State legislation allows run off but developer says we will be in trouble if water comes down to his house. Legislation also says in urban drainage stormwater within 30m must be hooked up. The developer has easement on his land it is our sewerage easement (apt!) And that runs to stormwater point public which is 10 m away (all easements on his land). The public stormwater easement runs all the way down side of his land. Can he refuse us access to his easement? Developer has told us where to build (as does not want us building directly above him). Due to run off. Is it expensive to put in a pond? We can dig it ourselves. Simply we don't have much money and can just afford a one bedroom cabin we did not envisage all this Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering.
