Completed Ready for Connection

Donvale Sewer Connect

Written by Nick Sibbing on 03 April 2020.

Donvale Sewerage Project

We've finished constructing the new sewerage system for properties in Donvale and it's ready to use.

Customers in Donvale now have the option to flush and let us take care of their wastewater.

No more septic tanks, boggy yards, unpleasant odours and polluted waterways.

The Community Sewerage Program area is bounded by Glenvale Road in the east, the Mullum Mullum Creek and Smedley Road to the North, the EastLink Tunnel to the south, and Old Warrandyte Road to the west.

Some of the key benefits of the project include:

Improving the health of the waterways by decommissioning leaking septic tanks
Protecting public health
Reducing odours in the area
Providing a more liveable environment for the residents of Donvale.

Declaration of sewerage services in Donvale

We formally declared parts of the sewerage service in Donvale to be 'ready for use' on 28 June 2017. Since then, other areas have been completed, and we have notified property owners when the service is available to connect. Owners of properties that are ready to connect should have received a letter from Yarra Valley Water, with instructions on how to connect.

Huggins and Quarry Roads

The sewerage network in Huggins and Quarry Roads has been completed. It is now ready for you to connect.

Glenvale Road

Construction works will commence in December 2016 to provide a sewerage network to properties along Glenvale Road. Works will continue until February 2016.

You may notice some construction vehicles in your area during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

We apologise that we are not able to meet the timeframes communicated to you previously. We are unable to provide you with a specific date for completion of the project as it is dependent on obtaining approvals and availability of contractors. At this stage, we anticipate that we will complete the project in the next 1 to 3 years.

In the meantime, we encourage you to continue to maintain your existing wastewater treatment system (WTS) as you currently do until the sewerage system is available for connection.

Monbulk Sewer Connect

Written by Nick Sibbing on 03 April 2020.

Monbulk Sewerage Project

Construction has finished and property owners in Monbulk can now connect to the new, modern sewerage service. Customers in Monbulk now have the option to flush and let Yarra Valley Water take care of their wastewater.

All properties in Monbulk are serviced by a pressure sewer system. No more septic tanks, boggy yards, unpleasant odours and polluted waterways.

PROJECT UPDATE

December 2021
Project updates care of yvw.com.au

Approximately 1,000 properties in the Monbulk community will have the option to connect to the sewerage system. You’ll have the option to let Yarra Valley Water take care of your wastewater.

Yarra Valley Water is constructing a piped sewerage system for Monbulk Community Sewerage Area. Sewerage pipes in the streets will connect to your property and the sewage will be taken away to a sewage treatment plant. A piped sewerage system will provide a healthier and more efficient sewerage solution for Monbulk now and in the future.

Stage 1 is complete. Yarra Valley Water has installed 8.2 kilometres of pressure sewer pipes in the streets and provided 270 properties with a connection point. Customers in this area will be able to connect to the new sewerage service after Stages 2 and 3 are finished next year.

Stage 2

The sewage pump station at Baynes Park Reserve has taken shape and work on the electrical components is underway. We’re working with the Yarra Ranges Council and a landscaper on how we can blend the building and space into the natural environment, using local plant species where we can. We’ll be consulting with local environmental groups when concepts become available. As part of this stage, we’ll be working to decommission the old sewerage treatment plant near the creek that will be redundant after the pump station is operational. Expect some traffic disruptions on Baynes Park Road in the coming weeks as work on the large sewerage pipe along this road is completed.

Stage 3
Most streets in the southern section of Stage 3 are complete, with pipes in the ground and connection points installed to each property on the program. We’re now focussing on the final northern section along Monbulk and Carcoola Roads. Construction of the booster pump station on Moxhams Road will start in early 2022. Booster pump stations are an essential part of pressure sewerage systems, especially in hilly areas. They give sewage flow an added ‘boost’ to keep it moving through the sewerage system.

Stage 4
Yarra Valley Water has constructed seven out of nine kilometres of pipes in Stage 4. They expect to finish installing sewer pipes in the streets by early in the New Year. After this, focusing on installing the remaining 200 property connection points.

Declaration of sewerage in North Warrandyte

Project updates care of yvw.com.au

We formally declared the sewerage service in North Warrandyte to be 'ready for use' on 21 December 2016.

Community contribution fee

As we have had a high level of interest in people connecting to the new sewer, we are pleased to advise that we have extended by another twelve months the date from which we will start collecting the Community Sewerage Contribution fee.

We will now start collecting the fee from 21 December 2018. This will allow you more time to engage plumbers to complete any works required.

If your property has not connected by 21 December 2018, a Community Sewerage Contribution fee will be added to your quarterly bill. This fee will be $26.44 per quarter for 20 years or until the property has connected.
