Worth knowing about Currumbin Waters

Currumbin Creek flows through Currumbin Waters, and the Marlin Waters canal estate was formed on its east side in the early 1980s. By 1986 the area had 4,000 residents. Homes from that first wave are now about 40 years old, and older drains can crack or let in roots. Our role is to connect Currumbin Waters residents with a licensed local plumber when a drain blocks.

Most homes here are separate houses (71.3%) or townhouses and semi-detached homes (27.6%). In a house, watch the overflow relief gully outside. An overflowing gully usually means a blockage downstream, between the house and the sewer. If you are in a townhouse and the neighbours’ drains are slow too, the blockage may be in a shared line. Let the body corporate know as well as the plumber.

The City of Gold Coast’s advice is short: only the 3 Ps go down the toilet, meaning pee, poo and paper. Wet wipes, nappies and cotton buds go in the bin. Fats, oils and milk should not go down the sink either. Seal fats and oils in a container and put them in the bin.
