Sewer and Stormwater Drains in Melbourne

What are the differences between Sewer and Storm water drains?

Sewer and Stormwater drains are two separate plumbing drainage systems.

Sewer drains collect waste water from

• toilets
• showers
• basins
• bidets
• baths
• laundry troughs
• clothes washing machines
• dishwashers
• kitchens sinks
• and more.

Storm water drains collect rainwater runoff from roofs, paths, patios, ground runoffs, aggi pipes and more.

In the plumbing industry the regulations or Australian Standards for the installation of sewer drains is much stricter than those for the installation of stormwater drain, this is mainly due to the importance of hygiene and the enormous inconvenience caused by a malfunctioning sewer system.
