What goes wrong
in Thagoona.
Thagoona is a rural-residential locality on the railway line between Walloon and Rosewood, with acreage, horse paddocks and a small station. Most homes rely on tanks and on-site wastewater systems, and the road, house and shed can be a long way apart.
Thagoona properties sit on larger blocks, usually with rainwater tanks and an on-site wastewater system in place of a sewer connection. Across long pipe runs, pumps and treatment systems, a blockage or leak can be almost anywhere. Guessing gets expensive fast.
The housing and its pipes
Acreage homes on large blocks, from older farmhouses to modern builds.
100% of occupied homes in Thagoona are separate houses, so the drainage and stormwater on your block are almost certainly yours to maintain up to the connection point. The 2021 Census counted an average of 3 people per household in Thagoona, in homes averaging 3.7 bedrooms. Size a replacement hot water system to the household, whatever size the old tank was.
Drainage and stormwater
On-site wastewater systems, rainwater tanks and long service lines, with surface drainage across open ground.
Many Thagoona properties are not connected to the sewer network and rely on a septic tank or an on-site treatment system. Ipswich City Council regulates these systems and some work on them needs a licensed installer, so tell us which one you have.
