STORMWATER
AND DRAINAGE
To
control seepage:
- intercept
any seepage paths from springs, etc by using free draining gravels,
agricultural drains and spoon drains.
- ensure
that constant groundwater flow such as that from springs, is drained
to your internal stormwater system, and not discharged onto other
properties.
- ensure
that your seepage flows do not drain to your sewerage system.
- ensure
that you allow water to flow from your neighbour's property.
- ensure
that the flow to your neighbour's property is not increased by
having large paved areas without good drainage.
- allow
water to flow naturally to your neighbour's property without
concentrating it.
- channel
surface water around your house
- drain
only to the stormwater system. it is illegal to drain to the
sewerage system.
