Acreage Blocks and Tank Water

Whiteside is mostly lake, parkland and bush, and the homes that remain sit on generous lots along Dayboro, Whiteside and Adsetts roads. At the last census the locality counted 255 dwellings and 810 people, nearly every home a separate house and two in three carrying four bedrooms or more.

Big roofs, long pipe runs and plenty of treed ground between the house and the boundary.

  1. No town sewer

    Unitywater's records show connections only on the big lake and parkland blocks here, so ordinary homes run septic or treatment systems that want desludging and absorption checks on a schedule.

  2. Sediment in the supply

    Homes off the town main drink tank or bore water, and the silt and tannins in that supply build up on hot water elements and clog inlet filters well before a cylinder rusts out.

  3. Roots and slopes

    Rolling to hilly country sends every storm across the block its own way, and retained bush keeps gums close enough for roots to reach tanks, trenches and the lines out to sheds.

Where the Flood Overlay Bites

Council's flood mapping rates parts of Whiteside Road plus Grant Street as high hazard and gives Hyde Road a medium rating, where runoff gathers on its way toward the lake and its creeks. Patman Road, Dayboro Road and Adsetts Road sit largely outside the mapped classes.

Two practical consequences. A trench placed below the house on a slope can cop stormwater it was never sized for, and a saturated absorption field sends effluent back up toward the home instead of down into the ground.

The overlay maps predate the 2016 planning scheme, so the council's online Flood Viewer is the better guide for any single lot.

Whiteside Questions We Get Asked

Call (07) 3067 4119

Do Whiteside homes connect to the Unitywater sewer?

No, because the town sewer reaches only the biggest lake and park parcels out this way, so homes on Dayboro, Whiteside and Adsetts roads treat their own wastewater in septic or treatment systems.

Can tank or bore water damage my hot water system in Whiteside?

It can, because sediment and leaf tannins from stored and bore supply coat the element and block the inlet filter screen, so an ageing unit drops its output or shuts down well before the cylinder rusts through.

Who owns the water pipes on a Whiteside property?

Unitywater maintains the public mains and meters, while every line past the connection point, including tank and pump feeds running out to sheds and paddock taps, falls to you as the property owner.

Can heavy rain overload my septic system in Whiteside?

Yes, because a soaking summer storm can fill the ground around the absorption trenches, and with nowhere left to soak away the effluent rises in the yard or backs up toward the house.

Which Whiteside streets sit in the flood hazard overlay?

Council mapping rates parts of Whiteside Road plus Grant Street at the high hazard level, while Hyde Road sits at a medium level, so check the council's Flood Viewer online before trusting any single lot's mapping.
